What it is
Deep water access and long term industrial land
Hamriyah Free Zone is an industrial and commercial zone built around the Hamriyah Deep Water Port in Sharjah. It offers long term land leases, pre-built warehouses, factories, offices, and labor accommodation. The tenant base concentrates in oil and gas, steel and metals, construction materials, timber, food and perfumes, and heavy logistics. Ownership is 100% foreign. HFZ is the right zone for operations that need real industrial scale and direct port access.
