View Almal Real Estate Development About Al Marjan Island
The island reshaping Ras Al Khaimah — home to the UAE's first casino resort.
Al Marjan Island is an archipelago of 4 artificial coral-shaped islands spanning 62 hectares off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah. In September 2027, Wynn Al Marjan Island will open here — a $5.1 billion resort and casino complex, the first of its kind in the UAE and the country's sole commercial gaming licence. The announcement has already driven property prices up 20–30% per year over the past two years, with a further 20% projected in 2026 ahead of opening. One of the most compelling short-to-mid-term investment stories in the Emirates.
