As RAK Properties celebrates its 20th year, these impressive figures underscore a consistent plan that is yielding tangible success – a plan closely aligned with the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi.
Our performance highlights Ras Al Khaimah’s unprecedented appeal as a real estate destination and investment hub. The emirate’s diversified economy, investor-friendly regulations, and growing population reflect an increasing demand for a new kind of modern, urban-beachfront community with Mina as its vibrant heart. Already home to world-class resorts, and with more branded hotels and residences taking shape, its success mirrors the emirate’s broader vision to attract top-tier hospitality and investment from around the world – investment that continues to reshape both the emirate’s coastline and skyline.”
Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties, commented: “Our H1 results show a successful six months for RAK Properties. We continue to see our success shaped by a steady stream of assets coming online, rising sales figures, and international interest in RAK as a place to live, invest, and thrive. So far this year, RAK Properties has solidified its role as a driver of the emirate’s economic growth, with strong financial results supported by disciplined and expertly managed operations across diverse projects, from newly launched residential projects to landmark hotel announcements. The timely and steady growth of Mina – from new homes to critical infrastructure – signals our status as trusted and high-performing developer with the scale, vision, and expertise to achieve even more in the months and years ahead.”

The addition of new staff has beencritical in expanding internal capacity and ensuring the overall organization is well positioned to achieve its upcoming growth plans.
Introduced earlier this year, a fully digital Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) has proved to be pivotal to not only streamline transactions but also elevating the overall customer journey as part of the Company’s drive towards ever-greater operational excellence.
Building on its strong fundamentals, expanding portfolio, and evolving network of strategic partnerships, the remainder of 2025 sees RAK Properties well-positioned to deliver long-term value for shareholders.
