What it is
Deep water industrial and logistics hub
Hamriyah Free Zone is an industrial and commercial free zone built around a deep water port in Sharjah. It offers long term land leases, warehouses, offices, and camps for oil and gas, steel, construction, timber, logistics, and other heavy and light industries, all under a zero tax, 100 percent foreign owned structure.
