Moving To Ras Al Khaimah

[Dusty]

I've received a decent job offer from company in Ras Al Khaimah but have been struggling to find any renting opportunities listed on the internet. I'd be grateful if anyone could provide any info or views on living in RAK and provide info on letting agents or contacts so I can make some formal enquiries. I'm looking for a 2-bed apartment in decent area (have budget of around 100k - 150k per annum)
Many Thanks in advance.

Hi Dusty and welcome to the forum.
There isnt a lot available in RAK, but 1 area I would suggest looking in is Al Hamra village.
It is about 15 mins out of RAK city centre, not to far from AJman either.

It is a new development, and a lot of expats live there. There are apartments and villas available (plus beach, pool, cafes, supermarkets etc). You should get a decent apartment for that amount.
Here is the link

Thanks Sgilli3, much appreciated

Sorry to disagree, I can see perhaps 10 from my town house, in the Al Hamra Village Golf Apartments blocks A/H.

I bought a town house recently, and was renting from a owner for almost one year.

Al Hamra properties, the developer rents out, as does a company called Sultan, also Better Homes in Dubai.

The only caution I would add is there is a shortage of electricity so any property that has no connection, might not have for perhaps 6 mths.

If you do a search on Al Hamra Village you will see plenty for rent. The new Marina apartments are now on line.

Good hunting.

mmmm. - disagree with what?
I gave the link for Al Hamra and said that is where you will find places to rent...there is plenty in Al Hamra...just not a lot in RAK itself ;-)

Actually there is several in RAK, the villas just off the creek, by the Hilton beach club, friend had a selection of 3 to select from.

The Granada compounds are good, but go very quickly.

If you are already in UAE, drive up, and visit AlHamra.

Hi Graham,

Our fully furnished townhouse is on the golf course and lagoon, it has 1 master bedroom ensuite plus 2 bedrooms, 1 study and a maids quarter, spacious open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, front and back garden, and a covered parking space. Expected annual rental of AED 180,000.
When are you considering moving to Ras Al Khaimah and when do you require the accommodation?

Hear from you soon.

I have a 3 bed town house in the same development, but without the roof terrance, and thus the maids room.

I have Electricity. as well as Internet.

There is an alcohol shop, almost on site.


Have you seen the new mall, this is making a very very soft opening over the next three months. Their web site is a total mess, with no indication of which units will be in there.

Also the Alhamra devopments web site, and general PR machine is a waste of space.

I love the area, and really like the development, even if the entire exercise is shambolic.

Back to the point raised: I would have said that 180, is expensive, but then the views add a premium.

I have no great views, but would have expected a furnished rental, of 150k.

Any more input on the subject would be welcome.
