Ports
The UAE’s strategic location has not only allowed the country to become a global aviation hub, but also a center for maritime activity and transportation. The country has numerous port facilities catering to general cargo, container shipping, and the oil and gas industry.
Most ports are located on the country’s Western coast, including the Port of Jebel Ali, the world's largest man-made harbor and the biggest port in the Middle East. The ports of Fujairah and Khor Fakkan are located on the Eastern coast and offer direct access to the Indian Ocean without the need to navigate the Strait of Hormuz.
