Self storage or a small warehouse?
For up to about 300 sq ft of stock, self storage in Dubai is usually simpler than a small warehouse. Green Sky rooms run from a locker at AED 150 to a 300 sq ft hall at AED 3,500 a month + VAT, no deposit, a week's notice to leave. Need more floor or your own hours? Lease a warehouse.

Another question? WhatsApp 056 784 5132
Is self storage cheaper than a warehouse in Dubai?
For a few hundred square feet, usually: you pay monthly for the room alone, from AED 150 to AED 3,500 a month + VAT, with no deposit and no fit-out. If you need more than a hall or two every day, compare a warehouse's yearly rent.
Can my business keep stock in a storage room?
Yes. Bring your trade licence and the signer's Emirates ID, and you get a tax invoice every month. No food, flammable or hazardous goods.
How big a room does a small business need?
Usually 100 to 300 sq ft. A 100 sq ft room holds about 5 pallets on the floor; a 300 sq ft hall about 15 pallets.
When is a warehouse the better choice?
When you need more than a hall or two, staff working on site all day, racking and a forklift of your own, or access outside our hours (Mon–Sat 9 AM–6 PM, Sunday closed).
