			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hilton Worldwide confirmed a deal to bring a second DoubleTree by Hilton hotel to Ras Al Khaimah this weekend. The new DoubleTree Resort by Hilton is expected to open at the beginning of 2014 on RAK’s famous Al Marjan Island.</p>
<p>Hilton’s luxury resort will be one of the first hotels to open on the highly anticipated Al Marjan Island. Al Marjan, which is RAK’s first manmade island, is expected to become a popular tourism hub offering a tranquil paradise at the centre of the Middle East. As the most scenic and naturally beautiful of the UAE’s emirates, RAK has a unique advantage over the rest of the Middle East to offer more luxury resort style holidays.</p>
<p>Upon completion, the 309 room DoubleTree Resort by Hilton will feature 45 luxury chalets located on the development’s private beach, a health club and spa with five treatment rooms, restaurants, bars and water sports facilities.</p>
<p>The president of Hilton Worldwide’s Middle East and Africa division said, “Tourism is a vital sector of Ras Al Khaimah’s economy and with three Hilton Worldwide hotels already open and a further three in the pipeline, I’m pleased we are playing a major part in firmly putting the Emirate on the destination map.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Today’s announcement represents another important step in our ongoing commitment to the region and our continued expansion across the Middle East &#038; Africa.”</p>
<p>Hilton Worldwide currently operates 53 properties in the Middle East and Africa region with an additional 39 properties in the pipeline due for completion over the next few years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ras Al Khaimah’s Tourism Investment and Development Authority (RAK TIDA) will invest AED 600 million into tourism projects in the emirate following an in-depth review of Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism industry. </p>
<p>The strategic review of the emirate’s tourism attractions, facilities and accommodation found there was a shortage of rooms to accommodate the increased level of visitors over the next few years. As a result, the TIDA will allocate AED 600 million ($163.4 million) to a series of projects across Ras Al Khaimah to bolster the emirate’s tourism projects.</p>
<p>Some of the budget will be spent improving existing resorts, some on facilities in popular tourism areas like the Al Marjan Island and an allocation will go towards the development of the highly anticipated Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah.</p>
<p>The additional investment is needed to maintain RAK’s growing momentum as a popular holiday destination. The emirate already attracts many visitors from elsewhere in the UAE as the country’s favoured domestic tourism hot spot; however RAK is looking to extend its reach internationally.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) has continued to cultivate a highly favourable business environment and as a result an increasing number of businesses are moving there. The Emirate has issued 800 new licences since the beginning of 2011 which represents an impressive increase of 31% compared with last year.</p>
<p>The main bulk of licences were for manufacturing, however there has reportedly been a marked shift towards trading licences as well. The main driver for businesses to move to RAK appears to be price. RAK is approximately 15 to 20% cheaper to do business than anywhere else in the UAE.</p>
<p>RAKIA, the investment authority responsible for attracting businesses to RAK’s industrial zones reported that 29% of inward investment came from India, 19% from Europe, 19% from the Middle East, 15% from elsewhere in the UAE, 3% from the USA and the rest from Africa. </p>
<p>Alex Thomas, general manager of marketing at Rakia explained how recent turmoil in North Africa has aided investment.<br />
&#8220;Companies going to Egypt or Syria would definitely come here to cater to the GCC and Mena region and set up a manufacturing base. The cost of the workforce is cheaper, there is no labour union and companies can get workers from anywhere,&#8221; he noted.</p>
<p>The growth of the industrial zones in RAK is expected to positively affect the emirates property market as a whole. With more business and workers setting operations there will be higher demand for property pushing up both the sales prices and rental values in the medium to long term. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Ras al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAK FTZ) has become one of the fastest growing free trade zones in the region according to new data.  574 companies registered in RAK FTZ in the second quarter of 2011 which takes this year’s total up to 1068 companies – representing a 30% year on year increase.</p>
<p>Together with a sharp increase in the number of companies operating from RAK FTZ, total revenues have also increased significantly. CEO of RAK FTZ, Oussama El Omari commented.</p>
<p>“The enviable growth achieved in new registrations this year is a testimony to our reputation as one of the most attractive investment zones in the region. RAK FTZ has enjoyed a steady increase in its client base since it was born 10 years because of its continued diligence to keep abreast of the needs of investors. Another crucial success factor of the free zone is the government empowerment under HH Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah and the guidance of HH Sheikh Faisal bin Saqr Al Qasimi as RAK FTZ Chairman. These significant growths in these challenging economic times reflect the investors’ confidence in our transparent, business-friendly environment.”</p>
<p>“We are not going to rest on our laurels, and by the end of 2011, we will be well on course towards a new record in company registrations and growth. Moreover, with some leading companies from across the globe making their beeline to RAK FTZ, we are eventually contributing to the economic growth of RAK and the UAE as a whole,” </p>
<p>The main sources of new companies to the RAK FTZ are the UK, Egypt, Pakistan, Germany, USA, France, Canada, and of course the UAE.</p>
<p>The new figures highlight Ras al Khaimah as a business location as well a growing tourism hot-spot. The RAK FTZ is now home to over 5000 companies, and as more companies join RAK’s housing market is expected to benefit considerably. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the tranquil, northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah takes further steps to become an international tourism hot-spot, Hilton Hotels have opened yet another property there. The Double Tree Hotel opened at the beginning of April and is the 3rd owned by the world renowned hotelier in the region. </p>
<p>Hilton have made clear their intentions to capitalise on the rapid expansion plans in place for RAK’s tourism industry. The Vice President of Operations at Hilton Worldwide, Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean, Mr Essam Abouda said</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe that for Ras al Khaimah the opportunity to have the advantage of a pure leisure destination will be a big plus,&#8221;</p>
<p> &#8220;What will help Ras al Khaimah to reach that is the accessibility, such as promoting the destination to charter flights, which you don&#8217;t have in Dubai,&#8221; Mr Abouda added.</p>
<p>Ras al Khaimah’s government is very keen to promote this initiative, recently creating the RAK Hotels and Tourism Development Authority to shape and guide the emirate’s growth strategy.  The 10 year plan will see hundreds of millions invested into the economy eventually quadrupling visitor numbers as part of an industry that will make up 20% of the emirate’s income.</p>
<p>RAK’s tourism growth is already in full swing as the Oxford Business Group included in their 2011 report:</p>
<p>&#8220;The hotel industry in the Gulf is competitive, with other emirates and neighboring countries vying to boost their total number of hotel nights, particularly at the four and five-star level,&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Growth in hotel guests staying in the emirate has been impressive, rising 132 per cent from 235,000 to 542,000 between 2008 and 2009. The majority of visitors come from Europe (54 per cent) and elsewhere in the UAE (37 per cent).&#8221;</p>
<p>Hilton’s continued expansion plans seem to be achieving the desired results with 2 more hotels due to open over the next 2 years. The Waldorf Astoria, the first of the Waldorf brand to enter the UAE will open next year in RAK with a 5th Hilton Hotel planned to open in 2013. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ras al Khaimah is currently undergoing large scale infrastructural investment to the value of $1.55 billion. The investment is primarily focussed on the improvement of utilities along with planned upgrades to road networks and transport links to promote RAK’s growth into a commercial and residential hub.</p>
<p>The majority of development will take place on the emirate’s water and power distribution networks. One private utility provider, UTICO has commissioned a $128 million water and power plant and plans to invest a further $544 million in to RAK.</p>
<p>There is also significant investment from the Ghantoot Group from Abu Dhabi who are creating the UAE’s first coal-fired power plant to meet the rising power demand. This project is expected to require over $381 million of investment in the coming years and will provide a significant boost to RAK’s energy supplies.</p>
<p>This investment has had positive effects property demand which is expected to benefit as a result. This recent news has prompted many UAE property experts to highlight RAK as an incredibility tranquil and relaxing place to live. This has drawn the attention of those working in places like Dubai who will increasingly look to live in RAK and commute as the emirate becomes more established.</p>
<p>Places like the Al Marjan Island have also been recognised for their ability to draw both domestic and foreign tourism to the UAE.  The idyllic paradise island is gaining more infrastructure by the day and as major projects such as Pacific and Bab Al Bahr reach advanced stages of completion the dream is very nearly a reality for many.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ras Al Khaimah took a substantial step towards its goal of becoming the region’s tourism hub last month with the opening of the first phase of the highly anticipated WOW RAK theme Park.</p>
<p>WOW RAK’s Ice Land Water Park was officially opened by the emirate’s Deputy Ruler, Crown Prince Sheikh Saud bin Al Qasimi, followed by an impressive firework display.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a reflection of our tradition of hospitality, our openness and our willingness to make friends with open arms and open minds. We are after all a nation born to partner with others and trade with others,” he said. The snow themed water park that spans over 20 acres consists of features such as the world’s largest man-made waterfall, a huge variety of slides and a full sized water football pitch.</p>
<p>The first of four phases, the Ice Land Water Park will soon be joined by a second fully operational Theme Park, a huge hotel complex and a shopping mall, spanning a total of 120 acres.</p>
<p>The WOW RAK project aims to break into the world’s top 5 Theme Parks and is expected to attract millions of tourists every year to the up-and-coming emirate. These intentions were clearly evident at the opening ceremony where one attendee described it as “truly exemplary display of His Highness&#8217;s Vision. It showed the spirit of RAK, which has always inspired the whole world about its rapid growth &#038; development.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following news last week that infrastructure works on <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Al Marjan Island </a>are in full swing, the Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority (RAKIA) has revealed that impressive progress is also being made on several of the island’s developments.</p>
<p>The first development scheduled for completion is Rakeen’s multi-use Bab Al Bahr project, located on the Al Marjan’s peninsular. Construction on the final level of Bab Al Bahr’s first phase of six residential buildings is underway and handover is scheduled for August this year. Further phases will comprise an office tower, a shopping mall and a hotel.</p>
<p>Two further developments are set to complete in 2011: Manazil Real Estate’s Marbella Bay and <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/pacific/">Pacific,</a> the award winning joint development by Select Group and Select Property.</p>
<p>Located on island number 2, Marbella Bay is based upon the Spanish region of Andalucia, and features waterfront apartments set amongst lavish landscaping.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/pacific/">Pacific</a> development, located in prime position on the top island number 4, will offer residents the ultimate in luxury living, boasting private beaches and contemporary properties with stunning views.</p>
<p>RAKIA has revealed that other projects on the island are also mobilising with more developers expected to follow suit over the coming months.</p>
<p>Commenting on the progress, CEO of RAKIA, Dr Khater Massaad said:</p>
<p>&#8220;We are very happy about the quality of developments we have been able to attract to Al Marjan Island and about their steady construction progress. Our vision is to create a self-contained community and comforting neighbourhood, providing convenient services and amenities, on a luxurious island with a wide variety of unique residential properties providing high standards of living, with stunning surroundings, lush greeneries, white sandy beaches and romantic views over the sea.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added that Al Marjan will be “an outstanding place to live.”</p>
<p>This progress is great news for investors in <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Al Marjan Island</a> and is testament to the confidence in the success of <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Ras Al Khaimah’s </a>first man-made island project.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Massive infrastructure plans across all sectors are in the pipeline in Ras Al Khaimah, it has been announced by the Chairman of the RAK Finance Department.</p>
<p>According to Sheikh Faisal bin Saqr Al Qasimi the new infrastructure would mean improvements for all areas, from industry to tourism and leisure.</p>
<p> “Funds are to be spent in the development of our ports system, sewage plants, industrial parks, natural parks, and educational facilities,” he revealed in an interview with Oxford Business Group.</p>
<p>According to Oxford Business Group, the extensive infrastructure plans reflect the RAK governments long term vision to increase industry and tourism in the emirate and, furthermore, are testament to the strength of RAK’s construction industry; the key driver in the growth of RAK’s economy. </p>
<p>Sheikh Faisal expressed confidence that the new projects planned in RAK would attract interest from investors, stating: “People with high liquidity are waiting for the right opportunity to invest, and 2010 will be the year to do so.”</p>
<p>He also added that banks and the availability of finance would be pivotal in providing renewed confidence in the UAE property market:</p>
<p>“Banks for the entire UAE will need to increase their lending capacity,” he said. “If this happens, it will be a real signal that real estate sector is improving and investment opportunities will emerge accordingly.”</p>

<p>The region’s investment in industry is pinpointed by the article as one of the key drivers behind <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a>’s success. Industry contributes more than 8% to <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a>’s GDP as a result of government incentives and the establishment of dedicated industrial zones. <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a> government’s pledge to increase energy supply over the coming years combined with the implementation of a $5bn improvement plan for the emirate’s <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/research/ras-al-khaimah-uae/infrastructure/">transport</a> network will enable this sector to continue to flourish.</p>
<p>The article draws upon the heavy investment in <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a>’s education and healthcare systems, referring to the unveiling back in November of plans for a new $21m private hospital to be built in the emirate</p>
<p>The article also reports on RAK’s growing <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/research/ras-al-khaimah-uae/tourism/">tourism</a> sector with the emirate capitalising on its natural attractions to offer off-the-beaten track holidays with a more authentic flavour. Many of <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a>’s hotels were overbooked in 2009 and so an extra 3,700 rooms are planned over the next few years.</p>
<p>Whilst <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a> has undoubtedly felt the effects of the global crisis, the factors described in the article are all evidence of <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a>’s strong foundations and suggest a prosperous future for the emirate with the nurturing of its own citizens as well as the attraction of new investment.</p>
<p>All strong grounds for the confidence mentioned in the article that remains in the <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/research/ras-al-khaimah-uae/rak-property-market/">RAK property market</a> with value for money, relaxed atmosphere and close proximity to the other emirates all highlighted as reasons behind <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">RAK</a>’s increasing popularity amongst the canny investor.</p>

<p>Al Hamra Real Estate, who run Al Hamra Village, have announced that the mall’s food court and entertainment zone are being completed, with many of the finishing touches expected to be in place by the end of 2009.</p>
<p>Al Hamra Mall is the first shopping complex in the thriving Jazeera Al Hamra area of <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Ras Al Khaimah</a> and is set to become a hub for the <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Ras Al Khaimah</a> community, housing over 100 stores and offering an array of products and services for residents and visitors to the emirate. It will be well supported by neighbouring Al Hamra Village as well as forthcoming developments such as projects on <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/pacific/">Al Marjan Island</a>.</p>
<p>General Manager of Al Hamra Real Estate, Dr Ayoob Al Faraj said: “We have spared no effort in creating a shopping paradise for families, individuals, business people and tourists that leaves nothing to be desired.”</p>
<p>“Al Hamra Mall has been rated by many international visitors as one of the most beautiful malls in the UAE” added Manging Director Khater Massaad, “combined with a sophisticated concept of a well-balanced shopping and entertainment mix, Al Hamra Mall has all the ingredients for a successful operation”.</p>

<p>In an interview with Oxford Business Group, Sheikh Omar Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, acknowledeged the impact of the glob financial crisis but expressed his confidence that RAK, along with the rest of the UAE would see growth in 2010:</p>
<p>“We might have had a slowdown, but we do not have a crisis like other markets around the world… we expect business to improve in 2009 and to achieve growth in 2010.”</p>
<p>Sheikh Omar proceeded to highlight <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/research/ras-al-khaimah-uae/tourism/">RAK tourism</a> and industry as the main factors in the expected boost to the emirate’s economy and suggested that the financial downturn of recent months had stabilized the market representing the region as an attractive investment proposition:</p>
<p>“The year 2009 has been a correction year, which brought the economy to an acceptable level. Now there is much potential for serious investors to look again and invest in the emirates.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RAK Ceramics, one of the world’s largest ceramic manufacturers, has announced a 31% increase in Q3 profits, in spite of the global construction slowdown.</p>
<p>The company has seen its Q3 net income rise to Dh64.2 million (US$17.4m), from Dh49.1m in the same period last year. Whilst demand for building materials has fallen this year with the delay of many construction projects worldwide, forward contracts secured before the slowdown have shielded the RAK Ceramics from its full effects.</p>
<p>Incorporated in 1991, with its headquarters in <a href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Ras al Khaimah</a>, RAK Ceramics is now a leading player in the international markets. According to financial analyst Hettish Kumar, it is this strong presence which has also helped the company to emerge strongly from the economic downturn.</p>
<p>“Subsidiaries and affiliates of RAK Ceramics are present in different geographical locations, which serves as a cushion, giving them a chance to make up for losses from different markets,” Mr Kumar said.</p>
<p>This news is further endorsement of <a title="Ras Al Khaimah's" href="http://www.selectproperty.com/invest/ras-al-khaimah/">Ras Al Khaimah’s </a>sustainability and growing economy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ras Al Khaimah stood out from the crowd at this years Cityscape, according to a recent article for Global Arab Network</p>
<p>The article reported how Ras Al Khaimah’s heightened profile at this year’s event, in spite of the economic uncertainty of recent months, was testament to the emirate’s ambition and “gathering economic momentum”.</p>
<p>In contrast to previous years, the focus of the 2009 event was very much on current projects, giving Ras Al Khaimah plenty to talk about and showcase the impressive progress the emirate had made in the property sector.</p>
<p>RAKIA, Rakeen and Al Hamra Real Estate joined forces to exhibit a portfolio of developments. These included Bab Al Bahr, Rakeen’s inaugural development on Al Marjan Island, where second phase infrastructure work is due to start next month.  </p>
<p>This clear display of confidence will provide a boost to property investors in Ras Al Khaimah as well as attracting those looking to make a sound investment in the emerging emirate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a bid to preserve Emirati identity amid the globalisation and immigration that are rapidly changing the UAE&#8217;s character, the Government declared 2008 the Year of National Identity, and Emiratis responded in spectacular style on UAE National Day.Celebrations in Ras Al Khaimah were at least twice as big as last year, onlookers said. In Ras Al Khaimah, thousands of vehicles paraded the UAE national colours for nearly seven hours in a spontaneous display of national pride on Al Qawassim Corniche. The Corniche was littered with confetti and flooded with Emirati music blasting from cars draped with the national flag or painted in the UAE colours with portraits of the rulers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The UAE celebrates the 37th anniversary of its founding today. Since 1971 and the coming together of six emirates (followed in 1972 by Ras Al Khaimah) it has been an exceptional journey. The UAE has grown to become one of the most admired countries in the Arab world and one of the most dynamic and progressive nations. National Day is a day to celebrate this success and is also an opportunity to remember and celebrate the values that bring a community together. Across the UAE several events are taking place to commemorate this special day and in Ras Al Khaimah the Police have announced a march to mark the UAE&#8217;s 37th National Day. General Shaikh Taleb Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Chief of Ras Al Khaimah Police, has announced that those interested in participating should gather in front of the Shaikh Zayed Mosque at 8pm for the celebratory march.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TheRas Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone took part in two major exhibitions in Turkey recently as part of its efforts to attract Turkish investors to the emirate. The RAK FTZ currently has around 80 Turkish companies registered and the emirate is stepping up its efforts to reach international business and investment communities. RAK FTZ, which already operates a liaison office in Turkey, joined the ranks of international exhibitors at the CeBIT Bilisim Eurasia 2008, the leading business and technology platform held annually in Istanbul. &#8216;Exhibiting at CeBIT Bilisim Eurasia is essential to achieving RAK FTZ&#8217;s goals to reach out to business communities within the region,&#8217; said Gulay Avci, RAK FTZ Regional Manager. CeBIT Bilisim Eurasia, which attracted 971 exhibitors and over 159,000 trade visitors from all over the world this year, presented the perfect opportunity for representatives from RAKFTZ&#8217;s Turkish Liaison Office to advertise the free zone&#8217;s services and facilities.RAK FTZ also attended the IBF Forum and Musiad Exhibition in Istanbul. The annual trade exhibit was attended by over 2,200 businessmen and guests, with more than 408 companies from across all sectors participating. As the only free trade zone in attendance, RAK FTZ gained vital exposure, attracting interest from both local and foreign businessmen.Ras Al Khaimah Investment Property Ras Al Khaimah Property News</p>

H.H. Sheikh Khalid said &quot;I just recently announced A Pledge For Progress, a comprehensive vision for the people of Ras Al Khaimah, and I intend to use this trip to explore ways I can work with leaders in the United States to support the &#8216;Pledge for Progress&#8217;, including fighting for Ras Al Kamiah&#8217;s economic independence.&quot; The website for A Pledge For Progress was launched earlier this month after H.H. Sheikh Khalid&#8217;s publication of an Open Letter To The American People following Barack Obama&#8217;s election as US President.&quot;I am anxious to work with the United States and the incoming Administration to help create economic opportunities for the people of Ras Al Khaimah, the United Arab Emirates and the United States&#8217;.I intend to inform business leaders and decision-makers of the need to create a model of renewable energy use in the Gulf Region, protect our respective natural resources and expand educational opportunities for our children&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Star Cement Co LLC, a leading player in manufacturing and trading cement in the Middle East, will invest $200 million in a high-tech clinkerisation manufacturing unit in Ras Al Khaimah.The energy efficient and environment friendly plant is expected to be completed by next February and will have the capacity to produce 2.2 million metric tonnes of clinker per annum. The new unit in Ras Al Khaimah will mean that Star Cement will have their own clinkerisation facility, which will further reduce their dependency on imports, the present source of clinker. The director of Star Cement, Ahmad Salah Al Deen, said, &quot;Our plan is to cater to an increasing demand for cement in the UAE in line with the construction boom. The existing capacity caters to 18 per cent of the demand for cement in the UAE.&quot;Ras Al Khaimah Investment Property Ras Al Khaimah Property News</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone is about to introduce a sophisticated legal process that allows the &#8216;re-domiciliation&#8217; of companies incorporated or operating elsewhere in the world directly and seamlessly into Ras Al Khaimah as an International company. Where an existing company migrates or re-domiciles to Ras Al Khaimah, the company&#8217;s existing legal status, goodwill and operational history will be preserved.This process will allow for companies who currently operate in more costly, difficult regulatory, high tax or high liability environments in other countries to migrate to Ras Al Khaimah without triggering a disposal of their asset&#8217;s or a reduction in their goodwill or operating history.Oussama El Omari, CEO of the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone said: &#8216;This will be a first for the region and keeps the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone international company regime at the cutting edge of providing timely and innovative services for global business.&#8217;Jas Sekhon, Regional Director for International Companies said while presenting the new regulations at the seminar: &#8216;This is a cutting edge statutory process that keeps Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone at the forefront of developing itself as an innovative and major global financial centre.&#8217;Ras Al Khaimah Investment Property Ras Al Khaimah Property News</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ras Al Khaimah Media City is planning an expansion by investing Dh80 million into building 10 studios, 10 dubbing theatres and 20 shooting stages for films and TV productions. Junaid Shaikh, Chief Executive of Ras Al Khaimah Media City said, &quot;The new facilities under construction are expected to be completed in four months and are aimed to offer a more convenient place for media-related companies that are establishing business in the UAE with Ras Al Khaimah as their base.&quot;Available space, competitive rental costs, service convenience and an upcoming future with economic growth in Ras Al Khaimah are the main reasons why media companies are starting to have a presence in Ras Al Khaimah, added Shaikh. In recent months, more than 20 international companies from the publishing, advertising and media sector have established activities in the Ras Al Khaimah media free zone. The Ras Al Khaimah Government has been playing a major role in encouraging both local and foreign investment to the emirate and Ras Al Khaimah Media City have benefitted from this.Ras Al Khaimah Investment Property Ras Al Khaimah Property News</p>

However he confirms that, &quot;Prospects for the UAE projects market are bright for the next five years if not more.&quot; Union Cement Company, the parent company of Union Cement Norcem, is studying the possibility of converting a second of its four kilns to burn coal instead of oil, according to Gorgunel. He said the company has already converted its kiln 4 to coal-burning. Gorgunel said the firm is planning to award a contract to build a covered coal store.Ras Al Khaimah Investment Property Ras Al Khaimah Property News</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mr Madhu Koneru MD of Ras Al Khaimah Minerals and Metals Investments has said that Gulf Cooperating Council governments must invest in securing mineral resources to meet future energy needs. The Ras Al Khaimah government is already investing heavily in coal as an alternative viable energy source through Ras Al Khaimah Minerals and Metals Investments. The strategy of Ras Al Khaimah Minerals and Metals Investments is to gain a foothold directly at the source of the commodities in resource rich regions.Global energy needs are projected to grow by 55% between 2005 and 2030 at an average annual rate of 1.8%. Electricity use will nearly double with most new plants burning coal which is already being touted as an alternative energy source to oil.Ras Al Khaimah Investment Property Ras Al Khaimah Property News</p>
