Gateway II Residences

Gateway II Residences is a completed low-rise apartment building by RAK Properties, located within the Mina Al Arab waterfront community in Ras Al Khaimah. One two-bedroom residence remains available, priced at AED 2,418,073.

# The building and its position within Mina Al Arab

Mina Al Arab is RAK Properties' flagship mixed-use development along the Ras Al Khaimah coastline, a community that has grown steadily around a network of waterways, a marina promenade, and open beach access. Gateway II sits within this established neighbourhood at a point where the canal-side walkways and resort hospitality of Hayat Island converge. The InterContinental and Anantara properties are nearby references, which gives the surrounding area a level of amenity infrastructure that most residential-only communities take years to accumulate.

The building itself is low-rise, a deliberate departure from the tower typology that dominates Dubai and much of the northern emirates. Its façade follows a free-flowing form intended to respond to the water and landscape setting rather than assert itself above it. Construction completed in Q4 2024 and the project is now fully handed over.

# The available residence: layout and specification

A single two-bedroom apartment of 1,553 sq ft remains on the market. At that size, the floor plan carries genuine room to move. The apartment is unfurnished, leaving the specification as a starting point rather than a constraint.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows pull natural light through the living spaces and frame views across the waterways. A private balcony extends that connection to the outside, positioned to face the tranquil canal scenery that characterises this part of Mina Al Arab.

The kitchen comes equipped. The overall finish is contemporary, with an emphasis on open, flowing interior volumes rather than compartmentalised rooms.

# Amenities within the community

Residents have direct access to a beach, a lagoon marina and promenade, a swimming pool, and a gym. A children's play area serves families, while retail outlets and dining areas sit within the wider community fabric.

The promenade and marina configuration means leisure and dining are accessible on foot. That proximity to waterside restaurants and shops without requiring a car journey is a practical quality that shapes daily life more than most amenity lists suggest.

# Ras Al Khaimah connections and nearby points of reference

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport is 29 kilometres from the project, approximately 22 minutes by car. For families, Al Jazeerah Al Hamra school is 5.5 kilometres away, a seven-minute drive. Al Jazeera Beach is reachable in around ten minutes, and Al Jazira Al Hamra Garden in nine. Khimat Zaman Shopping is six minutes from the building.

The road network connecting Mina Al Arab to central Ras Al Khaimah is straightforward, and the emirate's ongoing investment in infrastructure has reduced friction on the key corridors noticeably over the past few years.

# Who this apartment suits, and where it stands in the current market

At AED 2,418,073 for a completed, 1,553 sq ft two-bedroom apartment in a coastal community with functioning amenities, the price reflects RAK's position as a market where square-footage still goes further than it does in Dubai. The service charge runs at AED 13 per sq ft annually, a figure worth factoring into a yield or holding-cost calculation.

The buyer profile here is specific. It suits someone seeking a coastal second home within reach of Dubai, a family relocating to the northern emirates for more space and a quieter register of urban life, or an investor targeting the Ras Al Khaimah rental market ahead of the emirate's continued tourism expansion. The building is finished and the community is operational. There is no construction risk and no waiting period.
