Coworking spaces in the UAE

Updated 31 October 2026

Coworking in the UAE costs roughly AED 40 to AED 200 for a day, AED 500 to AED 1,500 a month for a hot desk, and AED 800 to AED 3,500 a month for a dedicated or private desk. These are approximate prices from published rates, October 2026. The quickest way to current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and licensed addresses

Before you rent a coworking desk for a company, check whether you need a licensed address. A guide we found says free-zone co-working packages start from about AED 6,000 to AED 8,500 a year including the licence, while mainland business centres are set up differently. Ask each provider whether the monthly price includes a licensed address or only the desk. The answer changes the total cost, so put the licence type in your request.

Season and climate

Summer runs from May to September and is very hot, so people working in the UAE value an air-conditioned space with parking close to the entrance. October is still warm, and the mild months from November to March suit outdoor meetings between desk sessions. Booking a monthly plan before the cooler months lets you test how the commute works in the mild season.

How prices are quoted here

Prices are quoted per person, per day, per month or per hour, so compare like with like. Hourly rates for freelancers in Dubai are often quoted between AED 25 and AED 50, with premium locations costing more. Ask about access hours too, because round-the-clock access is usually priced differently from business hours. Meeting rooms, printing and internet are often extra, so ask what the monthly figure includes.

What to write in your request

Give the district you prefer, the number of people, the space type (hot desk, dedicated desk or private office), the term (day, month or year), the access hours you need and your budget in AED. List the extras that matter to you, such as meeting rooms or a licensed address.

To get offers, describe what you need in a chat on BlaBlaPrice, in your own words, and add a photo if you have one. Our AI asks for missing details, such as the district and the number of people, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and spaces it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and availability. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. It is free for buyers. If you need a larger workspace, see offices to rent or commercial property for rent.
