Ras Al Khaimah’s commercial real estate market experienced a massive transformation in the first half of 2026, headlined by a staggering 348% spike in retail property prices on Al Marjan Island. According to recent data from Property Finder, this growth trajectory extended to RAK Central, which saw prices jump 254%, and Al Hamra Village, which climbed by 44%. This upward trend reflects a broader surge in investor confidence as the emirate continues to bolster its tourism and business infrastructure, leading to significant rental hikes in hubs like Mina Al Arab and Al Qusaidat.

Across the wider UAE, the commercial landscape remains robust with notable activity in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Dubai’s office and retail sectors maintained strong momentum, with Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Deira seeing double-digit rent increases. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa City and Al Reem Island showed steady growth in both leasing and sale prices, and Sharjah reported substantial rental gains in the Al Majaz and industrial districts. While these figures highlight a generally thriving market, the data also points to a varied performance across different regions, influenced heavily by property quality and the specific demands of each local business corridor.
