About Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) is the northernmost emirate of the United Arab Emirates, celebrated for its geographic and cultural richness. With 64km of pristine beaches, vast deserts, and the imposing Jebel Jais—the highest mountain in the UAE—RAK offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. The emirate’s rich history, which spans over 7,000 years, is evident in its numerous archaeological sites, four of which are on UNESCO’s tentative list of World Heritage Sites.
 
Strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Ras Al Khaimah is within four hours’ flying time of one-third of the world’s population, making it an ideal hub for businesses expanding regionally and globally. This central location, coupled with RAK’s robust infrastructure and favorable economic policies, positions the emirate as a compelling destination for commerce. The emirate’s economy is one of the most diverse in the region, with no single sector contributing more than 30% of the GDP. This diversification mitigates economic volatility and enhances its economic stability and flexibility.
 
Ras Al Khaimah’s economic resilience is further underscored by its long-standing ‘A’ range ratings by prestigious international agencies such as Fitch and Standard & Poor’s. These ratings reflect the emirate’s fiscal health and attractive investment climate.
 
According to the InterNations Expat City Ranking 2023, the city is recognized as the fourth best global city for expatriates, excelling in quality of life, ease of settling in, and professional opportunities.
 
In addition to its livability, Ras Al Khaimah offers excellent job satisfaction and career opportunities, significantly enhancing its attractiveness as a residential and professional haven.
 
The UAE’s safety rankings further bolster the city’s appeal. According to the 2024 Numbeo Crime Index, the nation is the second safest country globally, and Ras Al Khaimah is featured among the top six safest cities globally.
 
The city’s economic landscape is characterized by a robust mix of industrial, tourism, and real estate sectors, which drive its continuous growth and development. As Ras Al Khaimah continues to innovate and adapt to meet the evolving needs of its global community, it solidifies its status as a dynamic and welcoming destination for individuals and families from around the world seeking a balanced, fulfilling lifestyle.
