About Ras Al Khor Industrial Area

The Ras Al Khor Industrial Area functions as a vital mixed-use area in Dubai because it enables the city to operate its logistics and automotive and manufacturing industries. The area has developed from its initial industrial stage into three separate sub-communities which now function as a mixed-use space that combines residential areas with efficient business operations. The name of the location which translates to “Head of the Creek” identifies its exact location at Dubai Creek’s base where urban development meets natural beauty.

The community provides an affordable housing solution which helps both professionals and families establish their homes in the area. The district undergoes a contemporary change because of its nearby Wildlife Sanctuary which contains multiple flamingos and the fast growth of Dubai Creek Harbour. The property presents various spaces which include large warehouses and showrooms and modern apartments thus creating a complete environment which supports both work activities and residential needs.
