In addition, it has access to global shipping routes and major global ports all within proximity. SOHAR offers swift access to the growing Middle East, Indian and east-African markets. Since its establishment in 2010, SOHAR Freezone has become one of the GCC’s largest and most successful industrial zones, together with the Port there is a combined investment of over USD 27 billion.

The planned 4,500 hectares development has completed 63% of the first 500 hectares, with several large multi-national companies operating alongside medium-sized entities in an array of industries, including petrochemicals, plastics, metals, minerals, food, vehicles and logistics.

The Freezone’s One-Stop-Shop initiative offers the opportunity to set up operations quickly and efficiently. Investors have access to a myriad of benefits, 100% foreign ownership, 0% import and re-export duties, up to 25 years corporate tax holiday, and 0% income tax. 

Situated alongside sector-specific zones and clusters - which address the unique infrastructure needs of individual industries – the SOHAR Freezone offers integrated, bespoke logistics solutions across the value chain. Land for lease, warehousing, office space for sublease, and customers can take advantage of the competitive labour, utility, infrastructure, and raw material costs. Free trade agreements with the US, Singapore, Europe, and the GCC also form part of our solutions.

Businesses operating from the Freezone have swift access to the rapidly growing commercial and industrial hinterland of the Sultanate, including the economic and investment powerhouse of the Batinah region, Muscat, and the wider GCC. 

Modern highways connecting major cities such as Muscat, Dubai and Abu Dhabi make this investment powerhouse possible. Further benefits include proximity to Sohar and Muscat Airport, both of which act as a gateway to the GCC.

The adjacent SOHAR Port is situated outside the Straits of Hormuz, resulting in reducing carrier insurance premiums and overall freight costs for investors seeking competitive downstream opportunities.
