Al Qusais Warehouses, showrooms & plots

Al Qusais Industrial Areas 1 to 5 lie in Dubai’s north-east, on the Sharjah border and close to the airport. Car workshops and warehouses make up most of the stock — the RTA counts some 320 workshops — and the five areas are served by Amman, Beirut, Halab and Damascus Streets, whose internal roads the RTA rebuilt in 2023–24.
