About Jebel Ali Freezone

Jebel Ali Freezone — JAFZA to anyone who works here — is one of the largest free zones on the planet, anchoring Dubai's south-western edge between the port and the emerging residential belt along Sheikh Zayed Road. For years it was purely a business address. That's changing. A small but deliberate residential pipeline is taking shape, and our view is that buyers who move early here will benefit from pricing that hasn't yet caught up with the area's genuine strategic weight. This is a play for investors and owner-occupiers who want space, value, and a front-row seat to Dubai's next growth corridor.

Frequently asked questions about Jebel Ali Freezone

Is Jebel Ali Freezone a freehold community?
Jebel Ali Freezone is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in Jebel Ali Freezone?
Yes. Jebel Ali Freezone sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in Jebel Ali Freezone?
Most off-plan projects in Jebel Ali Freezone offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.

Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing.
