As the emirate will never be a major oil producer, Ras al Khaimah UAE has instead had to concentrate on developing its industrial sector. It started the UAE first cement company in the early 1970s and is now the UAE largest producer of cement.
In the 1980s, the emirate formed Rak Ceramics, which has become the world largest ceramics producer, and Julphar, the Persian Gulf region first pharmaceuticals company.
The Emirate of Ras al Khaimah UAE has an impressive archaeological heritage and a very rich history. This area had always enticed settlers with its unique combination of all the four types of landscapes found in different parts of the United Arab Emirates: the fertile plains, the mountainous region, coastal areas and the desert environment.
Another remarkable achievement of Ras Al Khaimah is the formation of Rakia. Rakia has formed RAK Offshore which is a true offshore facility and regularity body offering complete offshore non resident business registration and financial services.

* The minimum number of shareholder and director is one
* All shares must be fully paid when allocated and no bearer shares or differential classes of shares are allowed. There is no requirement to deposit the capital in bank
* 100% foreign ownership permitted and 100% tax and duty exemption

* A registered agent (legal firms, auditors, consultants) is required to be appointed by the Company from the approved list of registered agents maintained by RAK free zone. We are an approved registered agent with RAKIA
