Dubai free zones?

I'm planning to open a free zone business in the UAE and could really use some advice! I've been doing a lot of research, but I keep coming across mixed reviews on Google about different free zones, things like hidden charges, unexpected costs, or slow processes. That got me second-guessing almost every free zone I've tried to contact.
For context, I'm a French national looking to establish a social media marketing agency (SMMA). I'd also like to live in Dubai full-time, so I'll need a residency visa for myself as part of the setup.
What I'm looking for:
• A free zone that's reliable and transparent about costs (no surprises).
• A smooth process for both the company setup and getting my residency visa.
• Ideally, something not crazy expensive but still offers good value and service.
If anyone has personal experience with a free zone they recommend (or ones to avoid), I'd really appreciate your insights. Also, any tips for dealing directly with the free zone to avoid unnecessary middlemen would be super helpful!

Children aggressively panhandling in my neighborhood

Last night, while walking with my young daughters in Mag5 South City, a group of kids aggressively demanded money. I was concerned for my children's safety and refused their request, even though it was a small amount. Their subsequent taunting was unacceptable. I'm wondering if this is a cultural practice, or something else. I plan on moving soon anyway.
