Hamriyah Free Zone wraps around Hamriyah Port on Sharjah's Gulf coast and hosts the emirate's heavy end of industry: steel fabrication, oil and gas services, petrochemicals, marine industries and large-scale manufacturing across thousands of hectares of industrial land.

Deep-water berths, cheap land and power, and an authority accustomed to industrial approvals make HFZA the northern counterweight to Jebel Ali for businesses whose economics run on plot size and port proximity rather than a Dubai address.

Hamriyah frequently asked questions

How does Hamriyah compare to JAFZA?

JAFZA offers the region's premier container port; Hamriyah offers deep-water access with dramatically cheaper land, suited to bulk, break-bulk and fabrication businesses. Container-driven trade leans JAFZA; plot-hungry industry leans HFZA.

What does an HFZA setup cost?

Licences start around AED 9,000 to AED 15,000; industrial budgets are dominated by land lease and utilities, which run well below Dubai equivalents. We scope plots directly with the authority.

Can HFZA handle oil and gas activities?

Yes, energy services, storage and related fabrication are core tenants, and the authority processes the additional environmental and civil-defence approvals these activities need.
