From five-star hotels and resorts to captivating scenery, white sandy beaches, and laid-back vibes, check out Ras Al Khaimah for the ultimate working from home location<\/p>\n
Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) announces an extension to its popular \u2018Live RAK Play\u2019 programme, inviting digital nomads to swap an idyllic Zoom backdrop for the real thing and relocate to the Emirate for up to a year. Available now until 30 September 2022, \u2018Live RAK Play\u2019 features a range of long-stay offers across numerous hotels with seamless connectivity and discounts on dining, laundry, and car rental.<\/p>\n
The pandemic has led to a rise in remote working, as industries across the world adopt more flexible working policies and professionals are increasingly seeking to explore new and safe destinations while staying connected digitally. According to Mercer, an HR and workplace benefits consultancy, companies have reported that productivity is the same as or higher than it was before COVID-19, even with their teams working remotely, contributing to greater employee wellbeing and better work life balance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen first-hand the impact of remote working on employee wellbeing,\u201d said Raki Phillips, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority. \u201cOur own company culture, which reflects a host of workplace initiatives to help our people both professionally and personally, has given employees the space to focus on their mental wellbeing. As the government entity with the Happiest Work Environment in Ras Al Khaimah and a \u2018Great Place to Work\u2019, we\u2019re driven to create even more opportunities and \u2018Live RAK Play\u2019 taps into this culture by giving remote workers the chance to call our beautiful Emirate home.\u201d<\/p>\n
With an array of new and exciting activities to weave into the daily routine \u2013 not to mention an abundance of outdoor activities known to support mental health and reduce stress \u2013 Ras Al Khaimah offers the ultimate \u2018working from home\u2019 setting.

They can even complete the company training module while lounging poolside and enjoying the services at one of the Emirate\u2019s stunning hotels across beach, desert, and city locations. Once done for the day, guests can take advantage of the plethora of experiences available; from a refreshing ocean swim or visit to the spa, to hiking around Wadi Showka, off-roading in the desert or dining at one of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s world-class venues.
