Websites for companies licensed in RAKEZ, Ras Al Khaimah

What is RAKEZ and how is it organised?

RAKEZ is the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, which says it launched in April 2017 and now counts more than 40,000 companies. It runs several zones with different characters, and its zones page lists six:

• Al Ghail Industrial Zone, for large-scale industrial manufacturing;
• Al Hamra Industrial Zone, for light industry and heavy-industry projects;
• Al Hulaila Industrial Zone, for the heavier end of industrial manufacturing;
• RAKEZ Academic Zone, for international educational institutions and service providers;
• Al Nakheel Business Zone, for SMEs and freelancers;
• Al Hamra Business Zone, between the city centre and neighbouring emirates.

Education, health and similar regulated activities carry advertising and licensing rules, so confirm their wording with the relevant authority.

What do RAKEZ's 2025 registrations show?

RAKEZ's 2025 figures show new registrations led by service, trading and online-selling licences rather than factories. It reported nearly 19,000 new companies, 44 per cent more than in 2024. The table shows the licence mix of those new registrations and what each implies for a website.

RAKEZ named India (33 per cent), Pakistan (8) and the United Kingdom (7) as the largest source countries, with Egypt and France also mentioned. A site may therefore serve readers whose first language is not English, so plain wording matters.

What do the industrial zones imply for a website?

For an industrial tenant, the website is a technical document first and a brochure second. RAKEZ's page for Al Hamra Industrial Zone lists land plots from 5,000 square metres and warehouses from 150 to 10,000 square metres, for light and heavy industry, with a choice of free zone or non-free-zone entities.

Specifications, tolerances and certificates therefore matter more than slogans. Keep sizes and capacity on your own pages to what your lease and equipment records show, and do not repeat brochure numbers as if they described your company.

Does a RAKEZ licence mean a presence in Ras Al Khaimah?

Not necessarily, and a website should not imply a presence the company lacks. A RAKEZ blog says mainland and most free zones require a physical office for registration, and notes that many entrepreneurs opt for co-working spaces or shared offices to manage cost. The same blog says RAKEZ offers a dual licence, which it describes as allowing operation across the UAE; we cannot verify the scope for your activity, so ask RAKEZ.

If you work from a shared desk, say so honestly or give only the city and licensing details. Local search work, such as map listings, is appropriate only where there is a real, staffed location.

How does remote delivery from Istanbul work for a RAKEZ company?

We work with RAKEZ companies from Istanbul and say so plainly: Tooba Web has no UAE office, staff, address or Google Business Profile, and no connection with RAKEZ. If you manage the company from another country, tell us your time zone and we will plan video calls around it. Istanbul is UTC+3 and the UAE is UTC+4, one hour apart.

You describe the business on WhatsApp (+90 216 393 10 07), we propose a structure and a design, and you comment on drafts until the wording is right. RAKEZ's site gives its business hours as 8:00 to 16:00 UAE time, Monday to Friday, so ask for licence documents early. See web design, AI-search optimisation and Google Ads.
