Fujairah is one of the seven emirates of UAE. The geographical location of Fujairah makes it a unique one different from all other emirates. Fujairah is the only emirate present exclusively along the Gulf of Oman. All the other emirates are either located around Persian (or Arabian) Gulf or have access to both Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. In contrast to other emirates, Fujairah is almost completely mountainous. These mountains bring more rain as compared to other emirates. This factor makes the climate of Fujairah slightly comfortable as compared to rest of UAE.
All the emirates of UAE are giving importance to free zones for their economic growth. Along with local industries, Fujairah is also relying heavily on free zones. An important free zone in the emirate is Fujairah Free Zone (FFZ). The specific free zone was established two decades ago adjacent to the Port of Fujairah. The port is a busy place where transportation of shipments is underway on weekly basis from neighboring countries, northern Europe, North America and Far East through Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf. FFZ is also close to Fujairah International Airport which is the only airport at the UAE East Coast. The geographical location and the proximity of important seaport and airport make FFZ an ideal location for investors.
