Buying in Al Marjan Island
Freehold is available to any nationality inside the designated areas, with registration handled by the RAK authority.
Holiday-let assumptions drive a lot of RAK pricing, so separate the developer's projected returns from what you can verify. Check the escrow arrangement, the handover date and the service charge estimate, and treat any guaranteed rental return as a claim to be tested rather than a fact.
