About Gold & Diamond Park
The Gold and Diamond Park on Sheikh Zayed Road is a specialised enclave administered under JAFZA, combining manufacturing workshops, trading offices and a retail mall in one complex. Around 500 jewellery businesses operate here.
Manufacturers get purpose-built workshops with the security, ventilation and power that jewellery production needs, while traders and designers take offices and showrooms in the same building as their workshops sit behind.
Dubai trades a meaningful share of the world's physical gold, and this park is the practical, mid-market counterpart to DMCC's commodity exchange infrastructure: less about vaults and contracts, more about benches, stones and finished pieces.

Questions
Gold & Diamond Park questions, answered
Can I sell retail from the Gold and Diamond Park?
Yes, the complex includes a retail mall open to the public, and many tenants run a showroom in front of their workshop. Retail units are leased separately from workshops.
Gold and Diamond Park or DMCC for precious metals?
Manufacturers and designers usually fit better here, with physical workshops and retail. Bullion traders, refiners dealing with exchanges and firms needing vault infrastructure lean towards DMCC.
Are there import duties on gold into the park?
As a free zone, goods can enter and re-export without customs duty. Duty applies when pieces move onshore into the UAE market, and we can walk you through the flows before you commit.
