Business Setup in Hamriyah Free Zone

Sharjah’s industrial free zone with its own deep-water port: heavy industry, oil and gas services, steel and maritime trade.

Dubai cityscape and Burj Khalifa business hub

Industry With Its Own Port

Hamriyah Free Zone surrounds a 14-metre deep-water port on Sharjah’s west coast, making it the UAE’s second industrial hub after Jebel Ali and the natural base for steel, petrochemical services, maritime, recycling and heavy fabrication businesses. Land leases for build-to-suit plants remain available at rates Dubai has not offered in decades.

Trading and service licences exist too, but the zone’s edge is industrial: cranes, quaysides, gas connections and workforce housing in one estate.
