Bab Al Bahr Residences

Bab Al Bahr Residences is a completed low-rise residential complex developed by Al Hamra on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, comprising three separate buildings delivered in June 2020.

# Three Buildings on a Man-Made Archipelago

Al Marjan Island sits along the Arabian Gulf coastline in Ras Al Khaimah, formed as a coral-shaped archipelago of four islands connected by a central boulevard. The setting is deliberate: low density, water-facing, and removed from the commercial pace of Dubai proper, yet close enough to remain a practical option for buyers who divide their time between the two emirates.

Bab Al Bahr occupies a beachfront position within this island community. The complex draws on Arabic architectural references, with a pyramid-influenced silhouette that keeps the buildings low against the horizon rather than competing for skyline prominence. The three towers, named Fayrouz, Kahraman and Yakout, sit as a coherent group rather than isolated blocks, sharing amenities and beach access across the site.

The scale is intentional. Low-rise development on an island of limited land area is a considered choice, and it shapes the relationship between each residence and the water in ways that a conventional tower cannot replicate.

# Residences Oriented Towards the Gulf

Specific unit counts and size ranges are not publicly disclosed for this project, and JRE does not speculate on figures that are not confirmed. What is documented is that the complex comprises apartments and penthouses, all unfurnished, with sea views running across the Arabian Gulf. The orientation of the three buildings maximises that outlook.

Service charges are set at 15 AED per square foot, a figure that buyers should factor into their annual holding cost calculations alongside any financing arrangement.

# On-Site Amenities and the Beach Directly Below

The amenity offering is focused and coherent rather than exhaustive. Residents have access to pools on site, a children's play area, and direct frontage onto a white sandy beach. Sea views are a structural feature of the development, built into the positioning of each building rather than an incidental benefit reserved for upper floors.

The beach at Al Marjan Island stretches across 5.4 kilometres in total. The nearest beach access point to Bab Al Bahr sits approximately 0.9 kilometres from the complex.

# Connections Across Al Marjan Island and Beyond

The island's public park is 1.5 kilometres from the development. Al Hamra Mall, the primary retail destination in the area, is 7.9 kilometres away. For families considering the location as a primary residence rather than a second home, Zainab School for Basic and Secondary Education is 11 kilometres from the site.

Ras Al Khaimah's road infrastructure connects the island to Dubai International Airport in roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, making the commute viable for buyers who travel frequently but prefer a lower-density home environment.

# What Bab Al Bahr Represents for a Specific Kind of Buyer

This is a completed, fully delivered project. There is no construction risk, no off-plan waiting period, and no ambiguity about the finished product. For international buyers, particularly those from the UK or Europe who have watched Dubai's off-plan market expand at pace, a completed beachfront complex in a quieter emirate carries a different risk profile entirely.

Ras Al Khaimah has attracted sustained investment interest following the announcement of major hospitality and entertainment projects on the island. Buyers who purchased at Bab Al Bahr at launch have held through that period of increased attention. Those looking at the secondary market today are pricing a fully operational asset in an area that continues to draw significant development capital.

The project suits a buyer who prioritises Gulf frontage, low-density surroundings and the infrastructure of a delivered community over the speculative upside of an off-plan purchase.
