Innovation City and TikTok LIVE opened the first TikTok LIVE Creators' Studio in the MENA region on October 30, 2026, in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The studio sits in Innovation City Free Zone and has five rooms for content production and LIVE experiences. [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/953119250/innovation-city-and-tiktok-launch-mena-s-first-tiktok-live-creators-studio-in-the-uae) announced the opening.

## Inside the Five-Room Studio

Innovation City is a free zone in Ras Al Khaimah that houses entrepreneurs and emerging digital businesses. The new studio places creators alongside those companies, which the announcement said opens the door to collaborations beyond content.

The five rooms are built for different formats. Two Match Rooms host interactive LIVE matches where creators engage with each other in real time while their communities follow along. A Music Room is set up for LIVE music, performances and artist-led content, and a Beauty Room is designed for beauty creators and tutorials. The Main Zone is a flexible space for collaborations and experiences that bring different communities together.

The announcement said the studio gives creators infrastructure to improve production quality and take a more professional approach to content creation. That support, it said, can help creators explore ways to earn from their content.

"This studio is about giving creators the structure and support to turn their ideas into lasting businesses," said Anas Hijjawi, Acting CEO of Innovation City. He said the creator economy is becoming an important part of how the UAE's digital economy grows and that Ras Al Khaimah has a meaningful role in that.

Boxia Liu, Head of TikTok LIVE MENA and Türkiye, said the partnership creates a dedicated space where creators can produce content, develop ideas and explore new ways to engage audiences. "From music and beauty to interactive LIVE experiences, we want creators to feel inspired to collaborate and grow," Liu said.

The studio will be open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with weekend access available by prior booking. Bookings are handled through [Innovation City's website](https://innovationcity.com).

The announcement gave no date for a second studio or a further phase of the partnership. Weekend access to the Ras Al Khaimah space requires prior booking, and bookings are made through Innovation City's website.
