A world-class resort, over 9,000 jobs, and a shortfall of 5,000 hotel rooms from 2027. That means tenants, long-term and short-stay.

Indicative estimate, not guaranteed. 7%: long-term let, annual gross rent over purchase price. 13%: top of the range for short stays like Airbnb, depending on occupancy and season, before management fees, service charges and vacant periods. The 20% down payment is part of the amount paid during construction. The exact schedule is set out in the sales agreement. Not investment or financial advice.
How it works
Buying from abroad, step by step
- 1
A first conversation
On WhatsApp or a video call: your budget, your timeline and what you are looking for. Sarah presents the projects and the apartments available.
- 2
The video tour
Floor plans, views, floor, orientation, unit by unit. You receive the price list and availability of the day.
- 3
Reservation and contract
Reserve the apartment, sign the sales agreement and pay the deposit into the project escrow account.
- 4
Follow-up to the keys
Instalments, construction progress, handover, then rental if you wish.
Can I buy from abroad without travelling?
Yes. You choose the apartment on a video call, the reservation and contract are signed remotely, and payments are made by transfer to the project escrow account. You can visit whenever you like, but you do not have to.
Is my money protected during construction?
Every payment goes into an escrow account dedicated to the project, released as construction progresses. The developer buys its land in cash, without bank financing.
How much do I need upfront?
20% of the price on signing, then 10% every 6 months during construction, up to 70%. Then 10% at handover and 20% after, at 1% a month for 20 months.
Can I rent out my apartment?
Yes, once the apartment is handed over. Two ways to rent: long-term, for an estimated gross yield of around 7%, or short-stay like Airbnb, up to 13% gross depending on occupancy and season, before management fees and service charges. These are estimates, not a guarantee.
Can a foreigner really own property?
Yes. Al Marjan and RAK Central are freehold zones, open to all nationalities, with no time limit.
What about tax?
The UAE does not levy personal income tax. If you are tax resident in another country, how you declare a property and rental income abroad depends on your situation: your tax advisor will tell you what applies.
