Ras Al Khaimah: The World’s Top City for Expats in 2024
Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate of the UAE, has been crowned the world’s best city for expatriates, according to the Expat Essentials Index featured in the Expat Insider 2024 report by InterNations.
Why Ras Al Khaimah Stands Out
This ranking, which evaluated 53 global cities, assessed key factors such as housing affordability, digital infrastructure, administrative ease, and language accessibility. Ras Al Khaimah not only secured the top spot but also delivered exceptional results:
– 72% of respondents found it easy to secure housing, compared to a global average of 45%.
– 69% of expats reported no significant challenges with local bureaucracy, the housing market, or language barriers, far exceeding the global average of 29%.
A Thriving Economy and Professional Appeal
Ras Al Khaimah achieved second place in the “Working Abroad” category and fifth place for “Ease of Settling In,” reflecting its growing reputation as an ideal destination for professionals and families alike.
– The emirate boasts a highly diversified economy, with no single sector accounting for more than 30% of its GDP.
– It has maintained a stable ‘A’ range credit rating from Fitch and Standard & Poor’s for 15 consecutive years.
Lifestyle and Investment Opportunities
Ras Al Khaimah is actively enhancing its appeal through innovative initiatives like “Heart of RAK,” a digital platform showcasing the emirate’s exceptional quality of life. Key highlights include:
– 64 kilometers of pristine coastline and mesmerizing desert landscapes.
– Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest mountain, home to the world’s longest zipline at nearly 3 kilometers.
