Ras al-Khaimah is the capital of the northernmost emirate of the UAE, spread out as a blooming oasis in the desert, bordered by the majestic Hajar Mountains and the azure waters of the Persian Gulf. This region is famous for its historical heritage, natural attractions, healing springs.

What is this emirate?

In the mid-2000s, when the first freehold zones appeared in Ras al-Khaimah, real estate in them was sold only to those who registered a company in the emirate.

But since then, the laws have changed – today it is not necessary to have your own business in order to buy an apartment or a private house in Ras al-Khaimah.

Ras Al Khaimah is located about 40 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB) but has its own smaller international airport, Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. In addition, the emirate has major seaports, including Saqr Port and AlJazeera Port.

What is so remarkable about the emirate:

  • golden sand beaches and stunning sunsets
  • Jebel Jais mountain range formed 70 million years ago
  • the world’s longest 2.8 km zipline Jais Flight
  • Dhayah Fort is the only remaining mountain fort in the UAE
  • this is where the first casino in the UAE will be.

Ras al-Khaimah became the second emirate after Dubai, where foreigners were allowed to buy real estate on the rights of “freehold”. This form of ownership implies 100% perpetual ownership.

In the emirate, modern apartment buildings with swimming pools and entire areas with villas on the Persian Gulf are being built. Popular freehold areas include Al Hamra Village, Mina Al Arab, Al Marjan Island, Cove Rotana Resort and Dafan Al Nahil.

Investments

If we talk about the return on investment, then in a good complex ROI can be from 7% per annum.

This emirate is not yet very popular among the general public, but far-sighted investors are eyeing and investing in a promising emirate, because in a few years the value of real estate here can grow several times.
