Nura

Nura is a residential development by RAK Properties, situated within the Downtown Mina district of Mina Al Arab in Ras Al Khaimah. Comprising two buildings and 63 residences, it sits at the centre of a planned urban quarter on Mina Island, currently under construction and available for purchase off-plan with semi-furnished units ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.

# Two buildings in a district taking shape

Mina Al Arab occupies a coastal position in Ras Al Khaimah, bordered by wetlands, beaches and the shoreline of the Arabian Gulf. The community has developed around the natural terrain of the area, with preserved dunes and wetland corridors sitting alongside landscaped public spaces, a marina, waterfront retail and trail networks for cyclists and runners.

Nura is positioned within Downtown Mina, which functions as the commercial and residential core of Mina Island. The development's two buildings address a boulevard lined with cafés and boutiques, with the harbour and a public park both within reach on foot. The architectural approach leans toward clean lines, large-format glazing and a restrained palette, allowing the coastal light and views to carry more weight than decorative detail.

At 63 units across two buildings, the project is deliberately compact.

# Residences from 393 to 1,903 sq ft

The unit mix spans studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Studios run from approximately 393 to 407 sq ft, priced from AED 830,000. One-bedroom apartments show considerable variety in size, from just over 614 sq ft up to around 847 sq ft, with pricing broadly between AED 1,279,000 and AED 1,752,000 depending on configuration.

Two-bedroom residences occupy a wide band of the range. Some are configured at roughly 1,001 sq ft, while larger formats reach 1,903 sq ft, with prices from AED 1,993,000 to AED 2,876,000. The three-bedroom apartments, at approximately 1,696 to 1,702 sq ft, are priced at AED 3,523,000 and AED 3,855,000 respectively.

All residences come semi-furnished. Interiors follow a neutral, warm-toned palette with textured surfaces and proportions oriented toward natural light. The service charge is set at AED 15 per sq ft.

# Amenities across the rooftop and ground level

The amenity offering is concentrated at two levels. On the rooftop, residents have access to an infinity pool, a deck and a cinema. At ground and podium level, the facilities include a clubhouse, gym, yoga area, jogging track, art gallery, restaurants, a BBQ area, a children's play area and a designated pet-friendly zone.

The rooftop cinema is a practical differentiator for a project of this size, adding a communal evening dimension that smaller boutique buildings often omit.

# Ras Al Khaimah's coastal address

Mina Al Arab sits alongside Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salem Road, the arterial route that connects the community to central Ras Al Khaimah. The surrounding environment includes wetland trails, biking paths and beach access, shaped partly by a deliberate decision to build around rather than over the natural landscape.

RAK International Airport is the closest air gateway, with Dubai International reachable by road in roughly an hour depending on traffic. The combination of coastal access, preserved natural surroundings and proximity to a growing resort and retail infrastructure makes Mina Al Arab one of the more considered waterfront addresses in the northern emirates.

# Who Nura suits, and where it sits in the market

The price range, AED 1.3 million to AED 3.86 million, places Nura firmly within the bracket of buyers seeking a second residence, a retirement-adjacent property or a GCC weekend address without committing to Dubai's higher entry costs. European and British buyers drawn to the UAE for lifestyle and tax reasons but priced out of Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Harbour will find the numbers more accessible here, while retaining a genuine coastal setting.

For GCC buyers, particularly those from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait who already visit Ras Al Khaimah regularly, the Mina Al Arab address carries established credibility alongside the emerging appeal of the Downtown Mina district. The compact scale of the project, 63 units, limits oversupply risk within the building itself, which matters at a time when several larger residential towers in the emirate are delivering simultaneously.
