Marjan Beach, a waterfront district under development as a mixed-use project on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, is scheduled for completion under a 10-year plan, with its first phase due to be completed within the next two months.

Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, said excavation and site preparation work for the first phase of Marjan Beach would be completed within the next two months. He added that companies including Wasl, Omniyat and Beyond had secured land plots and sites within the waterfront development.

Earthworks involve moving and removing materials such as soil to prepare a site for construction.

“This is a comprehensive 10-year programme, but we are currently working on the first phase of the project in this area,” Al Abdouli said.

He described the project as “one of the largest master-planned developments in Ras Al Khaimah’s history”. The development spans 85 million square feet, of which 6.5 million square feet will be allocated to green spaces and public areas.

The Marjan CEO made the remarks on the sidelines of Arabian Travel Market, where the company unveiled its new virtual platform, Marjan Digital Universe.

The platform allows prospective investors to engage virtually with Ras Al Khaimah’s evolving landscape and explore Marjan’s master plans and development projects.

Al Marjan Island projects progressing on schedule

Al Marjan Island, a 2.7 million-square-metre man-made archipelago comprising four islands, will be home to the region’s first integrated resort with gaming facilities.

Wynn Al Marjan, initially scheduled to open in March 2027, is now set to begin operations in September 2027, according to the CEO of the Las Vegas-based luxury resort operator.

Al Abdouli confirmed that all infrastructure projects on the island were progressing “on schedule”, although some supply chain constraints had affected project delivery.

Marjan Beach is one of Ras Al Khaimah’s most anticipated waterfront developments and will feature luxury homes, hotels, cultural venues and lifestyle destinations.

Under the master plan, 60 per cent of the development will be allocated to residential use, with a range of commercial and residential districts planned, from exclusive beachfront areas to family-friendly neighbourhoods.
