Why Fujairah DED for Physiotherapy?

There are several compelling reasons why Fujairah Mainland continues to attract physiotherapy entrepreneurs from around the world.

The jurisdiction offers east coast port access, which is particularly valuable for physiotherapy operations. Additionally, oil and shipping hub ensures that your business remains competitive in the regional market. Operating on the mainland allows you to trade directly with the local UAE market without restrictions, and you can bid on government contracts — a significant advantage over free zone entities. Office solutions start from AED 3,000 per year for a co-working, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes. Trade across the UAE further enhances the appeal of Fujairah DED for physiotherapy professionals. Furthermore, cost-effective licensing positions your physiotherapy business for long-term success in the region. With Fujairah continuing to invest in infrastructure and business-friendly regulation, Fujairah DED remains an excellent choice for both start-ups and established healthcare enterprises looking to expand into the Middle East and North Africa region.

For Iranian nationals specifically, the Fujairah government has fostered a business-friendly environment with streamlined processes that cater to the large Iranian business community.
