What happened
Ras Al Khaimah welcomed a record 1.35 million overnight visitors in 2025, up 6% year on year, while tourism revenues rose 12%. The growth was supported by new hotel openings including Rove Al Marjan Island and SO/ Ras Al Khaimah, with further brands such as Janu, Four Seasons, Fairmont, Taj and NH Collection in the pipeline.
The performance comes as the emirate prepares for the 2027 debut of Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first federally licensed integrated gaming resort, which is expected to reshape visitor demographics and spending.
