Jebel Ali is a major industrial, residential, and business area in Dubai. You’ll find Jebel Ali Port, Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), warehouses, offices, and residential communities here. If you live or work in the area, or you’re sending a parcel there, an online form may ask for a postal code, ZIP code, PIN code, or P.O. Box number. Not sure what to put? This guide explains what to use and how to write a Jebel Ali address correctly.
Jebel Ali doesn’t have a dedicated official postal or ZIP code. If a website asks you for a five-digit postal code, 00000 is commonly used as a placeholder if the form allows it. But 00000 isn’t an official Jebel Ali postal code. For mail and deliveries, the recipient’s P.O. Box, full physical address, and contact number are more important. Simple as that.
Need a postal code for Jebel Ali? Here's the simple answer: there isn't a separate one. The UAE does not use area-based postal codes like many countries around the world. If an online form insists on a postal code, 00000 can usually be entered as a placeholder, as long as the form accepts it. For real mail or deliveries, use the recipient's P.O. Box where applicable. Add the complete physical address and phone number, too. Done.
Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) does not have a single postal code that covers every company. Each business may have its own registered P.O. Box and address details. So, if you are sending mail to a company in JAFZA, it is best to confirm the company’s P.O. Box and full address first.
JAFZA itself has a registered address using P.O. Box 17000, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This is JAFZA’s own address. It should not be used for another company unless that company has provided the same details.
When sending a letter or parcel to Jebel Ali, include as much address information as possible.
Recipient's Name
Company Name, if applicable
P.O. Box Number, if applicable
Building, Warehouse or Unit Number

Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Phone Number
Example:
Ahmed Ali
P.O. Box 12345
Warehouse 20, Jebel Ali Industrial Area
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

For deliveries, check the recipient's exact address and contact number before sending the parcel.
Sometimes an online form won’t let you skip the postal or ZIP code field. In that case, 00000 may be used as a placeholder if the website accepts it. It is only a placeholder, though. 00000 is not an official postal code for Jebel Ali.
For a P.O. Box field, the rule is different. Enter the recipient’s actual P.O. Box number. No 00000 here.
For courier deliveries, a complete physical address is usually more useful than a postal code. Include the building, warehouse, office, unit, or villa number, area, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the recipient's phone number. If the recipient has a P.O. Box, include it where required by the delivery service.
