Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO)
Dubai Silicon Oasis is a government-owned free zone and technology park in Dubai's outer suburbs, developed by the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority around Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. It combines a technology and business park with villa clusters, apartment towers and everyday retail, marketed as one of the few free zones where residents can both live and work on site. It suits professionals in tech and engineering roles, plus families wanting more affordable villas and townhouses further from the coast, with schools and a central mall covering daily needs.
