Property in Ras Al Khaimah
Buying property in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) is an option for both UAE nationals and, in designated freehold areas, foreign buyers. These zones allow for full ownership rights, and the emirate has no annual property tax. Buyers should be aware of a 2% property registration fee, typically split between buyer and seller.
RAK offers a more affordable cost of living compared to larger emirates like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The emirate provides access to healthcare, education, shopping centres, and recreational facilities. Its proximity to Dubai—approximately a 45-minute drive—makes it a practical choice for those working in the city but seeking a quieter residential environment.
Popular residential areas in RAK include:
Al Marjan Island: A man-made archipelago featuring waterfront properties and upcoming developments like the Wynn Resorts project.
Mina Al Arab: A master-planned community combining natural landscapes with residential and commercial properties.
Al Hamra Village: An established community offering villas, apartments, a marina, and a golf course.
Ras Al Khaimah City: The emirate's commercial and residential hub with a mix of affordable housing options.
Nearby emirates such as Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah also offer property options, though with different regulations regarding foreign ownership. Prospective buyers should review local laws and property ownership structures before making a purchase.
