Our verdict

On our criteria, HFZA wins for the most common profile. Heavy industry, oil and gas, and deepwater port access.

That said, FFZ remains the right call if: shipping and bunkering, oil storage and trading. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
