Marjan plots its next act on the RAK coast

Ras Al Khaimah has seen vast development in recent years and that is set to accelerate with the launch of an ambitious project to transform the northern emirate’s beach front.

In a major step towards reshaping the urban and economic landscape, Marjan, the area’s master developer of freehold properties, has unveiled Marjan Beach — a landmark 85 million square foot mixed-use masterplan.

The plan, revealed at a spectacular launch event featuring drones, fireworks and a giant model of the development, features tree-lined roads, large green areas for families and an extended beach front.

More than 100,000 people are expected to eventually live and work across the area.
