Is Ejari available?

Yes. Ejari is available for all eligible office packages. We handle the complete RERA registration process within 24-48 hours of your lease signing, so your trade license and visa processing move forward without delays. Ejari registration typically completes within 5-7 business days, compared to 3-4 weeks if you were renting a traditional space. This is a critical advantage: no Ejari, no trade license. Read our Ejari guide for detailed step-by-step information.

Ejari Registration Timeline:

  • Day 1: Sign lease, submit documents to us
  • Day 2: We submit to RERA
  • Days 3-7: RERA processes registration
  • Day 7: Ejari certificate issued, ready for trade license application
What office sizes are available?

Our fully serviced private offices range from 140 sqft to 200 sqft. The 140 sqft option is ideal for 1-2 person teams or solo entrepreneurs, fitting a desk, chair, and small meeting table. The 200 sqft option comfortably accommodates 3-6 person teams with workspace for multiple desks. All sizes come fully furnished, ready to work. We also offer co-working desks if you prefer flexible seating without private office commitment.

Are utilities included?

Yes. All utilities are included in one monthly payment with zero separate bills:

  • WiFi: High-speed broadband (50 Mbps minimum download/upload) — normally costs AED 400–600/month separately
  • DEWA: All electricity and water costs included — typically AED 300–800/month separately depending on season
  • Chiller: Air conditioning included year-round — costs AED 500–1,200/month separately in summer if metered

Your all-inclusive monthly price is AED 2,500–3,200, compared to AED 4,000–6,000 for equivalent space in Business Bay.

Is parking available?

Yes, parking is available upon request. Al Muhairbi Building provides dedicated parking spaces — let us know your requirement when you book a viewing. Visitor parking is also available. This is particularly valuable in Al Garhoud where metro access means you're not dependent on personal car commuting.

How far is the metro?

We're only a 5-minute walk from Al Garhoud Metro Station (Red Line). This proximity is a major hiring advantage: your team can live anywhere along the Red Line and Arabian Gulf Coast Line without adding 30-45 minutes to their commute. Dubai International Airport is 3 minutes drive away, so international clients/partners arriving can be in your meeting room within 3-5 minutes of landing.

How fast can I move in?

Because every office is already furnished, WiFi is live, and utilities are connected, most tenants move in within 3-5 business days of signing. This is a genuine ready-to-move office — not a space that requires weeks of fit-out or utility setup. You can sign Monday, work Wednesday. This speed is impossible with traditional landlords who require months of fit-out before occupancy.

Do you offer virtual office packages?

Yes. Virtual office packages include a prestigious Al Garhoud business address (1st Floor, Al Muhairbi Building) that you can use on your business cards, website, and official documentation without renting physical office space. Virtual packages come with: professional mail handling, call answering, meeting room access, and optional company formation assistance, VAT registration, and business bank account support. This is ideal for consultants, remote teams, or companies with multiple office locations.

Can you help with business setup and PRO services?

Yes. We provide complete business setup support beyond just office space:

  • PRO Services: Government documentation, visa processing, renewal applications
  • Company Formation: DED trade license setup, license renewal, amendment assistance
  • VAT Registration: FTA compliance and registration support
  • Business Bank Account: We provide documentation and support for opening corporate bank accounts

This means your paperwork moves as fast as your business — everything handled in one place.

Where exactly are you located?

1st Floor, Al Muhairbi Building, Al Garhoud, Dubai — this is a flagship location with several key advantages: 3 minutes from Dubai International Airport (critical for client meetings), 5 minutes walk to Al Garhoud Metro Station (excellent for team commuting), and proximity to the Dubai Golf Club and Dubai Creek (premium neighborhood appeal). The building itself is professional-grade with 24-hour security, backup power, and dedicated visitor parking.

Do offices have a golf view?

Yes, but limited availability. A small number of premium offices overlook the Dubai Golf Club course and the Dubai Creek — this is a rare amenity in Dubai, especially at this price point. Most offices in this price range (AED 2,500–3,200) look at other buildings; ours look at green. Golf view offices let quickly due to the unique appeal for client meetings and team morale. Mention the golf view when you enquire, and we'll confirm if current availability matches your needs.
