Nestled between the Hajar mountain range on the east and the Gulf on the west, the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, which literally means “top of the tent” in Arabic, lies within the northernmost part of the UAE. The emirate is endowed with a diverse landscape consisting of miles of silver, sandy coastline in the west, the desert plains bounded by the Hajar mountains in the east and a green belt in the south with flourishing date palms and vegetable gardens. RAK’s strong links with the other emirates through modern highways has fostered a renewed drive for development over the past few years. RAK is now setting its sights on becoming a premier investment destination, capitalising on its potential in the realms of real estate, industry and tourism.
