Dubai, UAE – 09 March 2026
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is fully open and operating as normal, with all services provided by the DIFC Authority continuing without interruption. Retail stores as well as food and beverage outlets across the district are open and serving customers during their regular business hours.
Activity across the DIFC community is gradually returning to normal as businesses and visitors resume their routines.
Employees working in commercial and corporate organisations are advised to continue following their company’s business continuity plans where these remain in effect. Regulated entities whose operations may still be affected should continue to provide updates to the regulator through the DFSA portal.
Members of the community are also encouraged to follow guidance issued by the Dubai and UAE Government, as well as any advice provided by their respective home countries for expatriates.
DIFC has thanked its community for their cooperation and professionalism during this period and confirmed that any significant updates will be communicated through email, social media and the official website.
The safety and wellbeing of the DIFC community remains the centre’s top priority. For any security-related matters, the DIFC Security Hotline remains available at +971 50 285 5999.
