Office space Dubai — frequently asked questions
How much does office space cost in Dubai?
At Oh My Desk: hot desk from 950 AED/month, dedicated desk from 1,500 AED/month, private office from 6,500 AED/month (2-person) up to 16,276 AED/month (15-person), virtual office with Ejari at 8,000 AED/year, meeting rooms from 120 AED/hour. All prices all-inclusive across 3 Dubai locations.
What's the cheapest office space option in Dubai?
The cheapest workable office option at Oh My Desk is the day pass at 120 AED, or the monthly hot desk at 950 AED. Both include WiFi up to 2 Gbps, coffee, kitchen and all 3 location access. For founders who need just a trade licence address without physical space, the virtual office at 8,000 AED/year (667 AED/month) is the cheapest legal option in Dubai.
Can I rent office space in Dubai monthly without a long lease?
Yes. All Oh My Desk plans are monthly contracts with no long-term lease commitment, no fit-out cost, and no exit penalty. You can upgrade, downgrade, pause or cancel with one month's notice. This is a major difference from traditional commercial leases which typically run 1-3 years with significant deposits.
Is Ejari included with the Dubai office space?
Yes for all private offices and for the virtual office package. The Ejari certificate is issued within 48h of signing and is accepted by DET mainland and major Dubai free zones (IFZA, RAKEZ, Meydan, Shams). Hot desk and dedicated desk members can add the virtual office package separately to get an Ejari.
Where are Oh My Desk's Dubai office spaces located?
Three premium locations: Downtown (Al Fattan Building, 32nd Street, Al Satwa, facing City Walk), Business Bay (Baysquare Building 12, P Floor, steps from the metro), and Dubai Design District (1G D3 Street, Za'abeel Second). All accessible from Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai metro lines.
Can I get an office for 1 person in Dubai?
Yes. For solo professionals, the best options are the hot desk (950 AED/month) for flexibility, or the dedicated desk (1,500 AED/month) for a permanent reserved spot with lockable storage. A full private office for 1 person isn't usually cost-effective — the entry point is a 2-person office at 6,500 AED/month, sized for founders + 1 partner or assistant.
Can I use the office address for my Dubai trade licence?
Yes. With the virtual office package (8,000 AED/year) or any private office, you get an Ejari certificate accepted for DET mainland and major free zone trade licences. Your office address becomes your registered business address. Our team handles the RERA paperwork.
How fast can I move into a Dubai office at Oh My Desk?
Same day for hot desk and day pass. 24-48 hours for dedicated desk. Same-day to 5 days for private offices depending on size. The whole process — tour, agreement, key handover — is built for speed.
Are meeting rooms included with the office space?
Dedicated desk and private office members get included meeting room credits (3 to 6 hours/month). Hot desk members can book meeting rooms on demand at 120 AED/hour. All meeting rooms include 4K screen, whiteboard, video conferencing, and reception service.
Which Dubai office location should I choose?
Downtown facing City Walk is the most prestigious — ideal for consultancies, law firms, client-facing businesses. Business Bay (Baysquare) is the most metro-accessible — ideal for teams with commuting employees and clients arriving from across Dubai. D3 is best for creative agencies, design studios, fashion and media companies. Visit all three on the same day if you're unsure.
