Downtown Jebel Ali

Downtown Jebel Ali is a modern and actively developing area in southwest Dubai, which is part of the larger Jebel Ali area created for expatriates in the 1970s. Downtown Jebel Ali emerged much later as part of a large-scale plan to develop the non-oil sector of the UAE's economy.

Currently, Jebel Ali is a developed district with extensive residential, industrial, and commercial buildings. It includes:

  • Jebel Ali Sea Port — the largest in the Middle East and the UAE's main hub for importing goods and re-exporting to the Persian Gulf and Middle East countries;
  • Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), which hosts about 7,500 companies with 135,000 employees;
  • The Palm Jebel Ali archipelago, an artificial group of islands shaped like the legendary Palm Jumeirah islands but twice their size;
  • Two industrial zones.

Downtown Jebel Ali is envisioned as the central hub of Jebel Ali, primarily a commercial district with many ready-to-sell shops, offices, commercial spaces, and mixed-use plots. As part of the free economic zone, purchasing office spaces and subsequently leasing them is considered a promising investment.

The area is well-suited for developing international business as well as for permanent residence.

Downtown Jebel Ali — Location

Downtown Jebel Ali is located along the UAE's main highway, Sheikh Zayed Rd (E11), a 20-minute drive from Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai Investment Park (DIP). The area has a metro station, UAE Exchange, and is only an 8-minute drive from the federal highway, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Rd (E311).
