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. In 1990 Jafza expanded its facilities to include light industrial units. It is the world’s largest free zone.
There is a special security gate as an entrance for this zone.
Jafza is served by the UAE Exchange station of the Dubai Metro.
The Chinese company Changhong maintains its Middle-East office in the zone. Over 800 Indian companies are based there.
