Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza; Arabic: المنطقة الحرّة لجبل علي al-Munṭaqa al-Ḥurra le Jabal ʿAlī) is a free economic zone located in the Jebel Ali area at the far western end of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, near Abu Dhabi. Created under a Ruler's Decree, Jafza commenced operations in 1985 with standard size office units and warehouses to provide ready built facilities to customers.[1] In 1990 Jafza expanded its facilities to include light industrial units. It is the world’s largest free zone.[2]

There is a special security gate as an entrance for this zone.

Jafza is served by the UAE Exchange station of the Dubai Metro.

Economy

The Chinese company Changhong maintains its Middle-East office in the zone.[3] Over 800 Indian companies are based there.[4]
