Our verdict

On our criteria, JAFZA wins for the most common profile. The original UAE free zone, built around the region's largest port. For physical goods at scale.

That said, DAZ remains the right call if: vehicle trading and re-export, spare parts distribution. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
