Al Quoz Warehouses, showrooms & plots

Al Quoz lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, in the middle of the city. It is one of Dubai’s oldest industrial districts: factories, workshops, auto services and warehouses, with galleries, studios and showrooms around Alserkal Avenue. Being central is the draw — most of Dubai is a short drive away.
