Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi

Since Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi took over as Ras Al Khaimah's ruler in 2010, the emirate's real estate sector has been at the forefront of its breathtaking economic expansion. Thanks to conservative, forward-looking development policies as well as strong guidance from RAK Properties and other real estate concerns, RAK's property market is among the healthiest and fastest growing in the entire United Arab Emirates.

Like any structure, a solid real estate market requires a strong foundation. Under the guidance of Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) has embarked on several noteworthy infrastructure projects and upgrades that have turned the emirate into an attractive place to live and work.

RAK's central city recently introduced a convenient, comprehensive bus network to shorten travel times and improve connectivity. Separately, a number of water-distribution projects and communications upgrades have dramatically increased the emirate's attractiveness to international tourists and business owners. A new motorway that connects the emirate with Oman complements an existing link to nearby Dubai. Most notably, His Highness has embraced international businesses and transplants by eliminating income, sales and corporate taxes.
