What is Dubai's role in international trade?
Dubai has historically been an important trading port due to its advantageous location between East and West. Today, Jebel Ali Port is the largest port in the Middle East and one of the busiest in the world. I visited Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), an economic zone that attracts thousands of international companies due to its favorable tax conditions and simplified business procedures. Dubai Airport also plays a key role, being one of the main transit hubs for cargo and passenger transportation. The city is actively investing in infrastructure and technology, striving to simplify logistics and trading operations. Walking through the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), I felt the dynamism of the financial sector, which supports trade relations with over 200 countries.
