RAK to Host Global Real Estate Investment Summit
Ras Al Khaimah is fast becoming one of the UAE’s most exciting property markets. This October, the emirate will take centre stage as it hosts the first-ever International Real Estate Investment Summit (IREIS 2025), cementing its position as a global magnet for investors.
The summit, scheduled for October 30–31, 2025, will be held at the Al Hamra International Exhibition and Conference Centre and is set to attract global investors, developers, and policymakers.
A Landmark Event for Global Property Investors
Organised by Cityscape, IREIS 2025 will bring together some of the brightest minds in international real estate. Discussions will focus on:
- Global capital flows into property markets
- Sustainable urban models
- Innovations reshaping the future of real estate
With support from Marjan, Al Hamra, RAK Hospitality Holding, and RAK Properties, the event promises to position Ras Al Khaimah as a hub for cross-border capital flows and luxury-driven developments.
Ras Al Khaimah’s Real Estate Boom
The Ras Al Khaimah real estate market is already experiencing extraordinary growth. The emirate is expected to add 45,000 new housing units, backed by a thriving economy and surging foreign interest.
Since the announcement of Wynn Al Marjan Island in 2022; the region’s first integrated resort international property purchases in Ras Al Khaimah have grown at a compound annual rate of 9.2%.
Today, international investors account for 68% of real estate investment on Al Marjan Island, while UAE-based buyers represent 32%. Demand is also expanding into Al Hamra Village, Mina, and central Ras Al Khaimah, showing the emirate’s broadening global appeal.
UAE Property Market: Strong Global Appeal
The timing of IREIS 2025 couldn’t be better. According to Savills, global real estate investment turnover is forecast to grow 27% to $952 billion in 2025, surpassing $1 trillion by 2026.
The UAE is already capturing a significant share of this capital. In 2024, the country attracted $45.6 billion in FDI, up 48.7% year-on-year, with real estate making up 7.8% of total greenfield project values.
In Dubai, property transactions hit AED 326 billion ($89 billion) in the first half of 2025 alone, a 39% year-on-year increase. New investors rose by 22%, while rental yields remain among the highest in the world.
Between 2014 and 2024, international property transactions in the UAE increased by 106%, with 66% of all deals in 2025 driven by overseas buyers.
Why Ras Al Khaimah Matters
Ras Al Khaimah’s rising profile reflects a larger trend: international investors see the UAE not just as a safe haven but as a high-yield, fast-growing real estate hub. With mega-developments, luxury resorts, and innovative communities on the horizon, the emirate is set to capture even more attention.
The International Real Estate Investment Summit 2025 will shine a spotlight on this transformation, connecting global ambition with regional growth.
Final Thoughts
As the UAE continues to break records in foreign direct investment, Ras Al Khaimah is ready to emerge as the next big player in global real estate. With IREIS 2025, the emirate will not only showcase its booming property market but also its vision for sustainable, luxury-driven growth.
If you’re an investor, developer, or policymaker, Ras Al Khaimah in October 2025 is where the future of global real estate will be shaped.
