The name may have been given to it after Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law during the Islamic Caliphate. In Arabic, “Jebel” means mountain.
Located just around the port, the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) was founded in 1985. The free zone offers special privileges for companies relocating there. For example, corporations are exempt from corporate tax for 50 years, there is no personal income tax, no import or re-export duties, and no restrictions on the currency.
