Jebel Ali (جبل علي in
Arabic) (also sometime written "Mina Jabal Ali") is a
port ("Mina" in Arabic) town, located thirty-five kilometres southwest of the city of
Dubai in the
United Arab Emirates. The port began to be constructed in the late 1970's along with Jebel Ali Village (built around 1977) which was used, initially, for the construction workers of the port. The village is still a thriving expat community with over 300 residents. With 67 berths and a size of 134.68 square kilometer (52 square miles), Jebel Ali is the world's largest man-made
harbour and the biggest
port in the
Middle East. The area is also home to "5,500 companies from 120 countries".
