Located in the industrial town of Musaffah, southwest of the city of Abu Dhabi, Musaffah Port is the second oldest port after Zayed Port.

The 53-km long Musaffah Channel is the 2nd longest in the region after the Suez Canal.

Established in 1972, Zayed Port is the oldest commercial port in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, serving as the main city port for over 40 years.

Since transferring all container traffic to Khalifa Port, Zayed Port has expanded its status as a premier regional hub to encompass cruise tourism, as well as general and bulk cargo. 

A milestone in the Arabian Gulf’s cruise tourism journey, designed to welcome the surge of passengers visiting the Emirate in search of a winter sunshine getaway.

Located in Zayed Port, and developed by Abu Dhabi Ports, the terminal opened in December 2015 and is fully equipped to host all kinds of vessels for turnaround and homeporting. Its contemporary design and infrastructure offers a welcoming gateway to international tourists to explore Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. 

Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Port ranks amongst the most modern, technologically advanced ports in the region, and was recognised in 2016 as the second fastest growing port in the world.

Inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the USE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi on 12 December, 2012, Khalifa Port is a true representation of the UAE’s engineering prowess.
