About Jebel Ali Free Zone
Jebel Ali Free Zone is a business and logistics district at the far western end of Dubai, next to Jebel Ali Port. It is the main free zone of DP World. Most of the area is taken up by warehouses, offices and industrial premises rather than homes. Sheikh Zayed Road runs along the district, and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road also gives access to it. There is very little housing here. The area has a single residential building: Alexis Tower, built by Reportage Prime Properties and completed in 2024, with 369 apartments. Because there are so few homes, the area suits people who work in the free zone or at the port and want to live close to their jobs. Its neighbours are mainly working premises; a building materials trading company's warehouse is within walking distance.
Jebel Ali Free Zone is an apartment district of about 369 apartments, built from 2024 onwards. One building is complete. Every building was built by one developer, Reportage Prime Properties .
