Tecom

The TECOM free zone consists of Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Knowledge Village.  The free zone offers 100% ownership as well as hassle-free administrative services to hundreds of global companies in the media, technology and education industries.

The Tecom area, however, is filled with high-rise apartment towers that boast everything from studios to three and four-bedroom apartments. Located between Al Barsha and The Greens, Tecom has easy access to Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, making it the perfect place for commuters. Tenants can find most major supermarkets, hotels and bars in the area in addition to their very own metro stop. Tecom is still under development, but construction doesn’t cause much disruption.
