THE HONEST VIEW

Strengths & considerations.

Where RAK Properties shines

Wynn Al Marjan 2027 effect — further significant price growth expected
Mina Al Arab = an established waterfront development with InterContinental + Anantara
RAK Central = a new CBD with capital-appreciation potential
Relatively accessible entry prices compared with Dubai
Yields of 6.5-8% in the growing communities

Worth considering

The RAK market is less liquid than Dubai — slower resale
Reliance on the Wynn effect — if the casino is delayed, there is risk to price growth
A medium-to-long investment horizon (2027+)
A less global brand compared with Emaar / Aldar
