"Focus on Ras Al Khaimah": Real estate appreciates by 18.5%

In 2023, experts recorded an 18.5% increase in Ras Al Khaimah's real estate, reflecting the escalating prices in the city's most sought-after district. Over the past two years, Ras Al Khaimah's property market has significantly surged, with expectations set for further growth.

A path of triumph

Ras Al Khaimah's policies strikingly resemble what we witnessed in Dubai a decade or two ago. They abolished income taxes and granted full property ownership rights to foreigners, acting as a catalyst for growth. Moreover, the city's emphasis on elite hotels has fostered a conducive environment for the expansion of the residential real estate free market. Ras Al Khaimah stands as a city of vast opportunities for investors.
