Ajman Free Zone
Ajman Free Zone (AFZA) Company Formation with Sohi Services
Like other major emirates in the UAE, Ajman has established its own free trade zone — the Ajman Free Zone Authority (AFZA) — to attract international investors and stimulate local economic growth. Founded under Amiri Decree No. 3 in 1996, AFZA has developed into a strategic business hub located at the entrance of the Arabian Gulf.
Its prime location offers direct access to Ajman Port, supports over 1,000 vessels annually, and is just 30 minutes from Dubai and 10 minutes from Sharjah. With proximity to two international airports and four seaports, it’s one of the most accessible and cost-efficient zones in the UAE.
