Selling online in Ras Al Khaimah

Home to one of the country's best-known free zones, and far enough north that delivery timing changes.

What is different here

Selling into Ras Al Khaimah, specifically

RAKEZ is a common licensing choice

One of the better-known free zones nationally, used by plenty of businesses whose customers are elsewhere. The usual free zone caveat applies to selling directly to mainland consumers.

Roughly an hour beyond Dubai

Far enough that same-day is unrealistic for most merchants, and next-day should be the promise rather than the hope.

Growing residential demand

Al Hamra and Mina Al Arab have expanded considerably, and online order volumes here have grown with them.

Price it in the Northern Emirates band

Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah usually sit in one band; Fujairah is the one to separate.

Licensing authority

RAK Department of Economic Development

A mainland licence lets you sell to customers across the UAE. A free zone licence does not, by itself, permit direct sales to mainland consumers — the difference matters.
