Question 1

How much does a private office cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Private offices at Oh My Desk start from 6,500 AED per month for a 2-person office, 8,500 AED for a 3-4 person office, 11,000 to 14,000 AED for a 5-8 person office, and up to 16,276 AED for a 10-15 person office. All prices are all-inclusive: Wi-Fi up to 2 Gbps, DEWA (electricity, water, AC), daily cleaning, kitchen access, reception, mail handling, 6 hours of meeting room credits per month, Ejari registration, and 24/7 access. No setup fee, no deposit on monthly plans, no DEWA surcharge.

Question 2

Is Ejari included with a private office at Oh My Desk?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every private office at Oh My Desk includes Ejari registration with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) at no extra cost. We file the Ejari within 48 hours of signing the agreement. The Ejari is accepted by DET (Dubai Economic Department) for mainland trade licences and by major free zones (IFZA, RAKEZ, Meydan, Shams). Unlike a virtual office Ejari, the private office Ejari also allows you to stamp UAE-resident employee visas — essential for hiring local staff.

Question 3

How quickly can I move into a private office in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Most teams move in within 24 to 48 hours of signing. For a 2-person to 4-person private office, we typically prepare the space within 24 hours, including furniture arrangement, signage, Wi-Fi setup, and badge issuance. Larger offices (10-15 people) take 2 to 5 days to fit out depending on layout preferences and custom requests. The fastest end-to-end setup we've completed: tour Monday, signed contract Monday afternoon, moved in Tuesday morning, Ejari issued Wednesday, DET trade licence Thursday.

Question 4

What's included in the price of a private office in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

All-inclusive pricing covers: fully furnished office (executive desks, ergonomic chairs, storage), lockable door with 24/7 badge access, Wi-Fi up to 2 Gbps on business-grade fibre, DEWA (electricity, water, AC), daily professional cleaning, kitchen with unlimited coffee and tea, mail and package handling, reception during business hours, 100 free black-and-white copies per month, 6 hours of meeting room credits monthly, access to all 3 Dubai locations (Downtown, Business Bay, Dubai Design District), and Ejari registration. No setup fee, no deposit on monthly plans, no DEWA surcharge, no community fee.

Question 5

Can I stamp employee visas using my Oh My Desk private office?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every private office Ejari at Oh My Desk allows you to stamp UAE-resident employee visas. The Ejari is filed with RERA in the office's name (or your company name), which the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) accepts for visa applications, renewals, and dependent visa stamping. This is the key difference between a virtual office (no visa stamping allowed) and a private office (visa stamping included). Our team coordinates with trusted Dubai PRO services to make the visa process smooth.

Question 6

What are the private office sizes available at Oh My Desk Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Five main private office sizes across our 3 Dubai locations: 2-person executive office from 6,500 AED/month (perfect for founder + 1 partner or assistant); 3-4 person team office from 8,500 AED/month (small startup or consultancy); 5-8 person growing team office from 11,000 to 14,000 AED/month; 10-12 person department office from 14,000 to 16,000 AED/month; 15-person full team office up to 16,276 AED/month. All sizes available at Downtown (Al Fattan Downtown) and Business Bay (Bay Square Building 12). Dubai Design District (D3) offers additional layouts.

Question 7

Where are Oh My Desk private offices located in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Three central Dubai locations: Downtown Dubai at Al Fattan Downtown (32nd Street, Al Satwa, directly facing City Walk, 5-minute drive from Sheikh Zayed Road, walking distance from Burj Khalifa); Business Bay at Bay Square Building 12, Podium Floor (90 seconds on foot from Business Bay metro station on the Red Line, ideal for clients arriving from DIFC); Dubai Design District (D3) at 1G D3 Street, Za'abeel Second (in the creative cluster, with larger 15-20 person offices). All locations are accessible by Careem/Uber and have parking nearby.

Question 8

What's the difference between a private office and a coworking dedicated desk?

Accepted Answer

A private office gives you a fully enclosed, lockable room with your own door, branded signage, and full privacy. A dedicated desk (1,500 AED/month) gives you a reserved spot in the open coworking area — same desk every day with lockable storage, but no walls. Three main reasons to choose a private office over a dedicated desk: privacy for confidential client calls (legal, financial, M&A); team size (private office for 2+ people, dedicated desk is single-seat); Ejari for visa stamping (only private offices allow employee visa stamping, dedicated desks do not). Pricing: dedicated desk 1,500 AED/month per person; private office from 6,500 AED/month for the whole room.

Question 9

What's the minimum contract for a private office at Oh My Desk?

Accepted Answer

Month-to-month, with 30 days notice to cancel. No long-term lock-in required. We offer preferred rates on 6-month and 12-month commitments (typically 5-10% discount) for teams who want predictable budgeting. There's no early termination penalty on monthly contracts. If you need to scale up to a bigger office or move to a different Dubai location mid-contract, no transfer fee and we credit the unused time toward the new plan.

Question 10

Can I use my Oh My Desk private office address for my trade licence?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Ejari included with every private office is fully compliant for trade licence registration and renewal with DET mainland (Dubai Economic Department) and the major free zones we work with (IFZA, RAKEZ, Meydan, Shams). The address (Al Fattan Downtown for Downtown, Bay Square Building 12 for Business Bay, 1G D3 Street for Dubai Design District) is recognised as a commercial address by RERA. We have issued hundreds of office Ejari certificates for trade licence applications since 2022.

Question 11

Can I scale up or down my private office mid-contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in both directions. Upgrades to a bigger office are immediate (we credit your unused time toward the new room, no penalty). Downgrades require 30 days notice for room availability. Mid-contract changes are common — we've moved members from 4-person to 10-person offices within 5 days, from one Dubai location to another within 48 hours. If you've signed a 12-month preferred rate and need to change, we work it out case by case rather than enforcing rigid penalties.

Question 12

Do private offices at Oh My Desk include parking?

Accepted Answer

Parking is available at all 3 Dubai locations but typically billed separately by the building. Downtown (Al Fattan): paid basement parking, around 900 AED per month for a reserved spot. Business Bay (Bay Square): on-site paid parking plus RTA street parking, around 700-900 AED per month for a reserved spot. Dubai Design District (D3): free or low-cost visitor parking inside the cluster, more generous than Downtown or Business Bay. Visitor parking is included free during meetings. Ride-share (Careem, Uber) is straightforward and often the most cost-effective for occasional visits.

Question 13

Are private offices at Oh My Desk available with 24/7 access?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every private office at Oh My Desk includes 24/7 badge-controlled access for all members. The building security operates around the clock at all 3 locations. You can come in at 3 AM for a late-night Zoom call with Asia-Pacific or finish a deck at 11 PM after dinner. Front desk reception operates Sunday to Thursday 9 AM to 6 PM, and outside those hours the building runs on badge access with on-call security. Guests are allowed any time but need to be signed in for security.

Question 14

What internet speed is included in Oh My Desk private offices?

Accepted Answer

Wi-Fi up to 2 Gbps on business-grade fibre at all 3 Dubai locations. Each private office has its own dedicated network segment for security. We offer wired Ethernet on request for offices that need it (low-latency video calls, large file transfers, security-sensitive workflows). IT support is included — if there's an issue, our team responds typically within 30 minutes during business hours. We also provide static IP addresses on request for VPN and remote work configurations.

Question 15

Can I customise or brand my private office at Oh My Desk?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within reason. Branded door signage with your company name and logo is included as standard. We can also accommodate: custom paint colour for one accent wall (subject to landlord approval, typically Downtown and Business Bay are flexible); furniture additions or replacements (you can bring your own desks/chairs or we source on your behalf); custom whiteboards and glass writable surfaces; cable management upgrades for multi-monitor setups. Major renovations (knocking down walls, fitted shelving) require landlord approval and a longer-term contract.

Question 16

Does Oh My Desk offer day passes or short-term private office rental?

Accepted Answer

Day passes (120 AED) give coworking area access only — they don't include a private office. For short-term private office needs (1-7 days), we recommend booking a meeting room or boardroom by the hour or day (from 120 AED/hour). For 1-3 month private office rentals, contact us directly with your requirements — we sometimes have short-term inventory between long-term contracts. For 4+ month rentals, our standard monthly plans (from 6,500 AED/month) are usually more cost-effective than day-by-day options.

Question 17

Are Oh My Desk private offices a good fit for law firms and consultancies?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our private offices are popular with law firms, family offices, M&A advisors, tax consultancies, and management consulting firms specifically because of three things: privacy (soundproofed rooms, lockable doors, no glass to the corridor); credibility (premium Downtown Dubai address recognised by clients, banks and investors); confidentiality (reception screens guests, NDA-compatible reception process, no surprise walk-ins). Many of our consultancy members host weekly client meetings on-site and praise the front-desk experience. The Eiffel Tower boardroom (15 seats, Downtown) is regularly used for client presentations and board meetings.

Question 18

How does Oh My Desk compare to WeWork, Servcorp or Letswork in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Pricing first: Oh My Desk private offices from 6,500 AED/month. WeWork Dubai typically charges 15-30% more for comparable products. Servcorp is premium serviced offices, typically 50-100% more expensive with longer commitments. Letswork is a day-pass app for coworking only — no private offices. Other comparisons: address quality (we operate Downtown Al Fattan, Business Bay Bay Square, D3 — all premium); Ejari included free in our pricing (WeWork and Servcorp typically charge extra or require longer terms); month-to-month flexibility (we offer it as standard, Servcorp requires 6-12 months); founder accessibility (Guillaume Rassemi, founder, is personally accessible to clients).
