Logistics City is a district of Dubai.
Logistics City is an industrial and logistics district within Dubai South (Dubai World Central), positioned immediately adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport. The precinct is designed to serve fast‑cycle distribution and global supply‑chain activity for the Middle East and wider regional markets. Its location, bonded zone status and dedicated multimodal corridors support inventory control, rapid turnaround and cross‑border distribution for a wide range of logistics operators and e‑commerce businesses.
Logistics City is part of the broader Dubai South masterplan, a large mixed‑use development built around Al Maktoum International Airport. The district functions as a logistics and distribution cluster: multimodal access (air, road and sea via a dedicated corridor) is a core feature. Dubai South and its Logistics District provide a customs‑bonded free‑zone environment that spans roughly 200 square kilometres, forming a single customs and operational area linked to Jebel Ali Port.
Coordinates: 24.902705°N, 55.113205°E. The neighbourhood is closely associated with the broader Dubai South ecosystem including EZDubai, the dedicated e‑commerce and logistics free‑trade zone implemented within the Logistics District.
Logistics City is strategically sited for modal connectivity rather than for pedestrian or metro access. The district is adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), enabling direct airfreight and express logistics operations.
Typical driving times reported from Logistics City include roughly 33 minutes to Dubai Mall, 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 30 minutes to Burj Al Arab and around 26 minutes to The Walk at JBR; these reflect road connectivity designed for freight and vehicle movements rather than urban pedestrian access.
Logistics City is primarily an industrial and logistics zone: large single‑purpose warehouses, multi‑user fulfilment centres and Grade‑A logistics facilities form the core built fabric. The precinct benefits from purpose‑built infrastructure for freight handling, bonded storage and on‑site licensing and visa services that simplify customs and regulatory processes for import‑export operations.
Recent and ongoing projects within Dubai South and Logistics City cited in official summaries include the following:
EZDubai, the dedicated e‑commerce free‑trade zone inside the Logistics District, was announced in February 2019. It is intended to attract e‑commerce and logistics operators by offering 100% foreign ownership and customised business infrastructure. The project was scoped at approximately 920,000 sq m overall with an investment outline reported at two billion dirhams. In its first operating phase EZDubai spans some 340,000 sq m in total, with 68,000 sq m reported as operational and a further 91,000 sq m under development at the same phase. EZDubai’s master plan incorporates e‑fulfilment centres, repair and returns infrastructure, supply hubs and business blocks for shared operations.
The Logistics District has been designed for multimodal freight flows and streamlined customs processes, using on‑site licensing and visa authorities to reduce administrative friction for companies operating within the bonded environment. The free‑zone ecosystem hosts thousands of registered companies across Dubai South, including a substantial number of large multinational enterprises and Fortune Global 500 registrants.
Logistics City is intended for logistics providers, third‑party logistics (3PL) operators, e‑commerce fulfilment businesses, freight forwarders, customs brokers and distribution centres that require immediate proximity to airfreight and bonded storage. The district’s attributes suit organisations that prioritise rapid inventory turnover, cross‑border distribution to the MENA region and connectivity to Southeast Europe, the CIS, the Indian sub‑continent and Africa.
Because the area is industrial and specialised in nature, it is primarily used for commercial and operational facilities rather than residential living or retail‑led communities. Support services such as on‑site licensing, bonded warehousing and visa facilitation are key benefits for companies establishing logistics operations in the district. Educational infrastructure in the wider Dubai South area includes nearby schools; the closest named school referenced in locality summaries is GEMS Founders School – Dubai South at 4.6 km.
Q: How close is Logistics City to the main airports?
A: Logistics City sits adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), approximately 4.9 km away by distance. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 46.5 km from the district.
Q: Is public metro access available within walking distance?
A: The nearest metro connection is on the Red Line (station code R76) at roughly 7,520 metres; this is not considered a walkable daily commute and the district is oriented to road and air freight movements.
Q: What types of logistics facilities are being developed here?
A: Projects include large distribution centres, multi‑user logistics buildings and Grade A logistics facilities, as well as the EZDubai e‑commerce free‑trade zone with e‑fulfilment, repair/returns and supply‑chain infrastructure. Several large projects with planned handovers and staged completions are reported within the Dubai South programme.
Q: Does Logistics City operate inside a bonded free‑zone?
A: Yes. Dubai South’s Logistics District functions as a single customs‑bonded zone with a dedicated logistics corridor to Jebel Ali Port and on‑site customs and licensing services designed to facilitate international trade and distribution operations.
