UAE Sector-Specific Requirements
Mall Tenants (Dubai Mall, MoE, Yas Mall)
Major malls typically require a minimum AED 10M limit with specific tenant liability and fire legal extensions. eSanad provides pre-approved wording that meets these landlord standards.
Event Liability (DET and DCT)
The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and Abu Dhabi DCT require PL certificates for all permits. Limits range from AED 5M for private events to AED 50M+ for major festivals and concerts at venues like the Coca-Cola Arena or Yas Arena.
Contractor PL
Contractors working on client sites or in free zones must present PL certificates naming the principal as an additional insured. Our policies align with Dubai Municipality, ADM, and Trakhees requirements.

Broker Tips for Liability
- Tip 1: Check Your Mall Limit. Don't buy a default AED 2M limit if your mall lease requires AED 10M. It's often cheaper to buy the right limit from the start than to endorse it later.
- Tip 2: Add Product Liability. If you manufacture, sell, or distribute physical goods, standard PL is not enough. Product Liability is critical for retail and F&B.
- Tip 3: Fire Legal is Non-Negotiable. In high-density towers or malls, fire spreading from one unit can cause millions in damage. Ensure your fire legal limit is sufficient.
