Lower entry prices compared to Dubaiβs prime districts
Higher rental yields, averaging between 7% to 9% in key communities
Faster capital appreciation, with some RAK areas seeing double digit growth in a single year
Waterfront and branded living at prices far below equivalent options in Dubai
All of these points establish Ras Al Khaimah as an excellent diversification option for investors who already hold assets in Dubai.
