Barsha Heights Postal Code: What to Enter & How Mail Reaches You

A required postal code box blocks the checkout until something is typed into it, and Barsha Heights has no code to type. Enter 00000 and the form moves on.

Neither Dubai nor any other emirate issues postal codes. Mail goes to P.O. Boxes, while couriers find a building through its name, the street and a phone number.

Is there a postal code for Barsha Heights?

No. Barsha Heights has no postal code, and there is no Dubai zip code for any other area either. A UAE address has no postcode line at all.

The district was known as TECOM until Tecom Group renamed it Barsha Heights. It sits between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, with Hessa Street along its northern edge, and the Dubai Internet City Metro Station on the Red Line serves it. Listings, maps and couriers still use both names, which matters when you write the address.

Values to type in a postal code field

Entry	Use it when	Notes
00000	The field is required and takes digits	First choice. Shorten it to 0000 or extend it to 000000 to match the field length
99999	A form refuses all zeros	Second attempt
12345	Both of the above fail	Last resort for rigid forms
N/A	The field accepts text	Fails wherever only digits are allowed
Blank	The field is not marked as required	Leave it empty rather than inventing a number
500001	Never	Not a UAE routing code

None of these values changes where your order goes. Delivery runs on the building name, street and phone number you enter, so the postal code field only exists to get past validation.

When a form rejects 00000

A form that rejects 00000 is either checking the length or refusing all-zero values. Work through these in order:

1. Set the country to United Arab Emirates first. The postal code rules follow the country, and a wrong country can make valid entries fail.
2. Match the digit count: 0000 for four digits, 000000 for six.
3. Try 99999.
4. Try 12345.
5. Type N/A if the box takes letters.

Writing a Barsha Heights address

Fill a multi-field checkout in this order:

• Country: United Arab Emirates
• Emirate or state: Dubai
• City: Dubai
• Area or district: Barsha Heights (Tecom)
• Address line 1: building name, floor and unit number
• Address line 2: street name, Makani number or P.O. Box
• Postal code: 00000
• Phone: a UAE mobile number that is switched on

A single free-text address box takes the same details in one block:

Office 1204, [Building name]
Barsha Heights (Tecom), Dubai
United Arab Emirates
Makani: [10-digit number]
Mobile: +971 5X XXX XXXX

Write both names for the area. Maps, listings and drivers use Barsha Heights and Tecom interchangeably, so the double label covers both.

Some checkouts offer only a preset area list. Choose Dubai as the city and put Barsha Heights in the first address line rather than picking Al Barsha, which is a different neighbourhood with its own streets.

Couriers rely on the building name, the street and the phone number, so the phone field has to hold a working UAE mobile number.

Renting a P.O. Box for mail

A personal P.O. Box costs AED 300 a year on the MyBox plan, plus a one-time AED 70 registration fee. Emirates Post sells two more plans that add home delivery, and every price below includes VAT.

Plan	Annual fee (AED)	How mail reaches you
MyBox	300	You collect from the Emirates Post branch you choose, with 24/7 access to the box
MyHome	695	Weekly delivery to your home, on a P.O. Box number that is not tied to one location
MyHome Instant	995	Next-day home delivery, capped at 60 deliveries per yearly subscription

MyBox includes one extra authorised agent for the first year, and each further agent costs AED 50.

To rent a box:

1. Check that you qualify. You must be a UAE resident aged 18 or over with a valid Emirates ID.
2. Log in with your UAE PASS account on the Emirates Post website or app, or go to a branch.
3. Pick a plan and a contract length of one, two, three, five or ten years.
4. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Google Pay. Cash works at branches only.
5. Wait for the confirmation email. The online process takes about two minutes.

Write the box as P.O. Box [number], Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The number goes in an address line, never in the postal code field.

Company P.O. Box plans

Barsha Heights is a mixed commercial district, and companies use the corporate plans instead of the personal ones:

• Basic Box: AED 995 a year, a P.O. Box number plus a locker at an Emirates Post location
• Premium Box: AED 2,500 a year, with weekly delivery of all mail and parcels to the office
• Premium+ Box: AED 12,000 a year, with delivery six days a week

Using a Makani number for deliveries

A Makani number is a 10-digit code from Dubai Municipality that identifies the entrance of a building. Dubai Municipality launched the system in 2015, and buildings show the number on a plate at the entrance.

Without a plate, three routes give you the number:

1. Open the free Makani app and search for your building, or allow location access.
2. Use the Makani website.
3. Ask building security or reception.

Put the number in address line 2 or the delivery notes so the driver can open the exact entrance on a map. A Makani number points to an entrance, so use the one for the entrance your unit uses. It is not a postal code and does not belong in that field.

Common mistakes

• Typing 500001, which is not a UAE routing code
• Putting a P.O. Box number in the postal code field
• Pasting the Makani number into the postal code field
• Choosing Al Barsha from a dropdown instead of writing Barsha Heights in the address
• Writing only one of the two names, Barsha Heights or Tecom
• Leaving out the mobile number

FAQ

What is the postal code for Barsha Heights?

Barsha Heights has no postal code. Type 00000 when a form requires one, or leave the field blank when it is optional.

Can I leave the postal code blank for Barsha Heights?

Yes, when the field is not marked as required. Where it is required, use 00000, 99999 or N/A, depending on what the field accepts.

Is 500001 the postal code for Barsha Heights?

No. 500001 is not a UAE routing code, and no UAE postal authority issues it. Use 00000 instead.

Is Barsha Heights the same as TECOM?

Yes. Tecom Group renamed the district Barsha Heights, and maps, listings and couriers still use TECOM as well. Write Barsha Heights (Tecom) in the address.

Do I need a P.O. Box to receive deliveries in Barsha Heights?

No. Couriers deliver to the building using the building name, street and phone number, and a Makani number sharpens the location. A P.O. Box is for mail and parcels sent through Emirates Post.

Where do I find my building’s Makani number?

On the plate at the building entrance, in the free Makani app or on the Makani website. Building security or reception can also give it to you.
