JAFZA is the UAE's oldest free zone, established in 1985... Over 11,000 companies operate from JAFZA, including many of the world's largest multinationals.
Suggested change
Corrected the JAFZA free zone company count, which was even more stale than the figure found elsewhere, updating it from 8,000 to 11,000. Also confirmed the DMCC award claim and Jebel Ali Port ranking claims are both accurate and not contradictory (they use different metrics).
Why this is better
The JAFZA company count was even more out of date than the figure used in the sister free-zones guide and needed to be brought up to the current published figure.
