Who this area suits
Al Qusais Industrial Area 5 is suited to businesses and operators whose activities require industrially zoned land and facilities: light manufacturing, warehousing, logistics support, vehicle servicing and trade-related services. The district is appropriate for companies prioritising proximity to DXB and to the main arterial roads that link central Dubai with northern and eastern corridors.
