Ras Al Khaimah will host its first International Real Estate Investment Summit (IREIS) on May 20–21, 2025. The event will take place at the Al Hamra International Exhibition and Conference Centre. It marks a major step in RAK’s growth as a global property investment hub.
The summit is organized by Cityscape (Informa Markets), along with Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding. It will gather more than 500 people, including investors, government leaders, and property experts. The goal is to highlight RAK’s fast-growing real estate market and its potential for strong returns.
One major highlight is the $3.9 billion Wynn Al Marjan Island resort. This luxury project, set to open in 2027, is expected to attract global attention. It draws comparisons to places like Las Vegas and Macau, and it will boost both tourism and real estate in the region.
What to Expect at the Summit
The event will cover several key topics:
- Culture and Heritage: A case study will showcase Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village and how RAK protects its past while building its future.
- Investment Opportunities: Experts will discuss rising demand for branded homes linked to top hotel names like Nobu and Ritz-Carlton.
- New Technologies: Sessions will focus on how tools like blockchain, AI, and crypto are changing real estate.
- Sustainability: Panels will explore green building, smart cities, and eco-tourism.
Why RAK Is Gaining Investor Interest
RAK sits just an hour away from Dubai, yet offers better value for real estate. It also has fewer restrictions and more relaxed ownership rules. These factors attract both local and global investors.
According to Stirling Hospitality Advisors, 14,000 new homes are expected by 2029. About 5,600 of these will be branded residences. Long-term visas and airport upgrades are also making it easier to invest and live in RAK.
Final Thoughts
The IREIS event is a big moment for Ras Al Khaimah. It gives the emirate a chance to shine on the world stage. As more people learn about its property market, RAK is ready to welcome global investors.
