Ras al Khaimah, about an hour’s journey from Dubai, is one of the seven Emirates that comprise the United Arab Emirates. RAK has the highest degree of industrialisation in the UAE, accounting for 26% of GDP. Its reputation has been built on a business-friendly investment environment and low expenses. RAK’s business costs are 25 to 50% less than the UAE average, enabling companies to maximize their return on investment.
The Ras al Khaimah administration established the International Company structure, also known as the RAK Offshore Company, in September 2006. The Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone Authority International Companies Regulations 2006 govern these.
