Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) is an area of Dubai that promotes advanced technology and commercial innovation. It is a free economic zone, which attracts companies involved in various business fields.
The district was developed by Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority. Construction of the area began in 2004, and by 2016, more than 2,000 companies had moved in. DSO is roughly divided up into four parts: industrial, commercial, educational, and residential. The neighbourhood is home to the Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus, the Rochester Institute of Technology – Dubai, and the Dubai Digital Park. In addition to work areas, there are residential developments with facilities suitable for accommodating employees and their families.
Dubai Silicon Oasis is located at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Ain – Dubai Road. The emirate’s central attractions and the Dragon Mart shopping complex can be reached within a 20-minute drive of the community. DSO borders International City Phase 2, Nad Al Sheba 4, and Academic City. The latter is home to various universities and schools, which is convenient for those looking to access higher education.
The district covers an area of 79m sq. ft. and includes high-rise residential complexes and a community of villas. Properties include apartments, duplexes, villas, penthouses, offices, and retail outlets. Land for construction and entire buildings can also be purchased in DSO. The community has positioned itself as a ‘city within a city’ and offers residents a well-developed infrastructure. There are landscaped areas for strolling between the buildings, which adds to the environmental appeal of the community.
