What happened
Wynn Al Marjan Island has moved into its final construction phase, with Wynn Resorts, Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding targeting a spring 2027 opening for the $5.1 billion (Dh18.7 billion) resort on Al Marjan Island. The 70-storey tower is structurally complete, more than 83% of the façade is installed, and over 482,000 cubic metres of concrete and 15,000 tonnes of structural steel have gone into the build. When finished, the property will offer 1,530 luxury accommodations, 22 food-and-beverage outlets, a 900-seat theatre, a 145,000 sq ft convention centre and a deep-water superyacht marina, all served by a 548-metre Wynn Bridge due to open in late 2026.
Why it matters
For Ras Al Khaimah, the project is the single largest tourism and foreign-investment anchor on the table: construction has already generated more than 18,000 jobs, with the adjacent Oasis employee community set to house 7,000 staff. It is also the UAE's first federally licensed commercial gaming resort, a status that puts RAK at the centre of any future conversation about regulated integrated resorts in the Gulf. The opening timeline still depends on regional shipping conditions, but the emirate now has a concrete, near-complete asset rather than a rendering — a meaningful shift for investors tracking RAK's tourism and real-estate pipelines.
