Nura, Mina Al Arab: Two Projects, Two Entry Points Into Ras Al Khaimah's Waterfront District

Nura sits within Mina Al Arab, RAK Properties' master-planned waterfront community on the Ras Al Khaimah coastline. At the subdistrict level, the current off-plan market here is limited to two listed projects, which means buyers are making a relatively concentrated choice rather than comparing across a wide field. That concentration is worth understanding before going further.

What the Price Range Actually Tells You

Pricing runs from AED 800,000 at the low end to AED 3,470,000 at the top, with a median sitting at AED 800,000. That median sitting at the floor of the range signals the inventory skews toward entry-level stock, with the upper figure reflecting the villa product rather than representing a typical transaction. The spread here, more than four times the minimum, is wide enough that buyers need to be clear about which product type they are actually evaluating.

One project covers apartments, the other villas. The apartment offering speaks to investors and first-time buyers looking for a lower-cost entry into Mina Al Arab's waterfront positioning. The villa project targets a different buyer entirely, one prioritising space and a longer residential horizon in Ras Al Khaimah.

Both projects carry a 10% minimum down payment, which is a low entry threshold by standard off-plan practice in the UAE. Neither project includes post-handover payment terms, so buyers should factor full completion payments into their timeline planning.

Aldar Properties and RAK Properties are the two developers active in Nura. Aldar brings scale and a track record from Abu Dhabi and beyond; RAK Properties is the master developer behind Mina Al Arab itself. That combination carries weight for buyers thinking about delivery certainty and long-term community management.

Both projects are scheduled for handover in January 2029, meaning buyers entering now are looking at roughly a three-year off-plan window. The amenity profile across the subdistrict covers a gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, shared spa, landscaped gardens, cycle track, children's play area, restaurants, retail facilities, and CCTV security. The mix points to a community designed for permanent residents rather than short-stay visitors, with the spa and cycle infrastructure suggesting a demographic that prioritises day-to-day lifestyle within the development rather than proximity to urban amenities outside it.
