Jebel Ali Free Zone

The flagship operation of Dubai-based and state-owned 'Economic Zones World'. Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) was established in 1985 and offers land, light industrial units, offices, and warehouses on a long-term lease. JAFZA is one of the world's largest service-oriented and customer-centric free zones, covering 48 square kilometres. Free of red tape and constraints, JAFZA offers its clients an atmosphere that is most favourable to development.

That this free zone is situated in a crucial area is also a given. JAFZA is situated close to Jebel Ali Port, the world's biggest man-made port in the Middle East and the sixth-largest container port in the world, serviced by 150 shipping lines and 90 weekly services. Attracting the crème de la crème of investors from all over the world (including the Middle East, Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, North America, and Africa), JAFZA has become a worldwide commercial and industrial centre.
