Named after the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Zayed Port was established in 1968 and – as the main port in Abu Dhabi – has been recognised for the last four decades as one of the region’s pioneers of the maritime industry. In addition to its core role as a commercial port, Zayed Port has expanded its usage in recent years to encompass tourism as well, offering major cruise facilities to become one of the region’s premier hubs for cruise liners.
