In The Movies...

My name is Sherif Abaza. I am an Egyptian, born and raised in Dubai, UAE. I've been a nomad for the larger part of my adult life and will continue to be so. Come to my blog to know about my life or the movies. Sometimes they blend into one...

We have an office...Finally

As some of you may already know, some of my friends and I have recently joined the wacky world of entrepreneurs in Dubai. While it's a very competetive market and things aren't always as smooth as they could go, and if Dubai is not the city with the world's highest quality of life, it is probably one of the best places to do business in the Middle East and possibly, due to tax free locations, in the world, though you only start feeling the "Tax-free" bit when you've made it big!

Anyways, we are liscenced as a Dubai Media City - free Zone Company for Event Management. We paid our dues, including office rent for 6 months. We closed our Dubai office in order to move to media city. Mind you this was about 6 months ago. Once we received our liscence we were told there was no office ready yet, we should get it in 3 months (double that already). When we asked where to work from the answer was quite simple "From your cars, hotel lobby, anywhere with internet, we don't care" - and that is exactly what we have been doing for the last 6 months!

Now, 6 months later, we finally have an office - OUTSIDE MEDIA CITY - since our DMC premises is still under construction. So yes, we have the convenience of a space in Karama, however, we're paying for two offices at the same time....sometimes it just doesn't make sense, but let's see how it all works out in the end...

Wish us luck!
