Jebel Ali (Arabic: جبل علي‎) is a port town, located 35 kilometres southwest of the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The village has a thriving expatriate community with over 300 residents. The area is also home to "5,500 companies from 120 countries".

In 1985, the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ) was established. JAFZ, an industrial area surrounding the port, allows the international companies who relocate there to enjoy the special privileges of the free zone. These include exemption from corporate tax for fifteen years, no personal income tax, no import or export duties, no restriction on currency, and easy labor recruitment. Al Maktoum International Airport (formerly Dubai World Central International Airport) is being constructed in the area.
