About RAKEZ

RAKEZ, the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, is a business and industrial authority in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. It was formed in 2017 by merging RAK Free Trade Zone with the zones of the RAK Investment Authority.

RAKEZ offers licences for a wide range of activities, from freelancers and consultants to traders, e-commerce businesses and large manufacturers. It is known for competitive costs compared with free zones in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Industrial zones are a key strength. RAKEZ provides land, warehouses and factories for manufacturing businesses, and Ras Al Khaimah has a strong base in industries such as ceramics, building materials, pharmaceuticals and food production.

Its business zones include options for free zone licences, which allow full foreign ownership, as well as non-free zone licences that allow companies to trade within the UAE.

RAKEZ also provides support services such as visas, banking introductions and business centres, along with programmes for startups and small businesses.

Ras Al Khaimah has been promoting tourism, real estate and industry as growth sectors, with major projects such as resorts and an integrated resort under development.
