Hamriya and Sharjah free trade zones
There are two free zones (FZ) or free trade zones (FTZ) in Sharjah as follows. Hamriyah is on the coast between the emirates of Ajman and Umm Al Quwain (a bit of Sharjah splits the two). Sharjah Airport Free Zone is off the Sharjah Airport road heading out of Sharjah, before you get to the airport. Port Khalid is the main seaport, in the downtown area of Sharjah, and is not a free zone.
