AMAZING AJMANAmongst the seven Principalities that together constitute the United Arab Emirates, the Emirate

of Ajman is one of the most progressive. It is an attractive tourist destination boasting pristine

white beaches, prestigious resorts and hotels, cultural heritage sites steeped in history, museums

and nature reserves. It also offers a vibrant corniche, bustling with shops and restaurants.

Equally attractive is its proposition to businesses. It boasts a population of 500,000 people,

which is increasing year on year, thereby offering an ample labour pool. Being located on the Gulf

coast it accommodates an ultra modern port - an important maritime focal point that serves

over 1,000 ocean-going vessels a year. Additionally, it’s located just a few minutes away, by

road, from two major international airports, assuring easy connectivity to the rest of the world.

A LEGACY DATING BACK 30 YEARS, A VISION LOOKING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE.

Ajman Free Zone was first established in 1988 under

the Ruler of Ajman, H.H. Sheikh Humaid Bin Rashid

Al Nuaimi in order to ignite and fuel the industrial

and commercial growth of the Emirate of Ajman.

During the past few years the Free Zone has enjoyed

a four-fold increase in the number of businesses

establishing their operations here.

world-class facilities. Recognised as a major

maritime focal point, it boasts 5,200 meters of quay

length and accommodates 12 multi-purpose berths,

connecting by regular daily feeder service links with

regional hub ports.

plan in line with our vision of evolving into a futuristic

hub offering distinct advantages that others don’t. By

working with a variety of stakeholders, we are able
