Established on November 24, 1999, Al-Mazyunah Free Zone was the first of its kind in the Sultanate of Oman and marked a significant milestone in the country’s economic development. Strategically located and covering an area of 14.5 square kilometers, it was designated as a free zone under Royal Decree No. 56/2002, which laid the foundation for its establishment and management.

To provide a clear framework for businesses operating in the zone, the Al-Mazyunah Free Zone regulations were approved through Ministerial Decision No. 22/2010. These regulations outline incentives, benefits, and regulatory requirements for companies, aiming to create an investment- and trade-friendly environment. Key incentives include tax exemptions, customs exemptions, and streamlined administrative procedures, making it an attractive destination for both foreign and domestic investors.

The strategic location of Al-Mazyunah Free Zone near the Yemeni border enhances its role as a gateway for trade between Oman, Yemen, and other neighboring countries. This positioning facilitates the movement of goods and services while contributing to regional economic integration and development.

Over the years, Al-Mazyunah Free Zone has attracted a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and services, playing a significant role in job creation and economic diversification. Its establishment has bolstered Oman’s competitiveness in the global market, positioning the Sultanate as a key player in regional trade and investment.
