Ras Al Khaimah Tops Expat Index, Beating Abu Dhabi And Dubai
Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) has been ranked the top city in the 2024 Expat Essentials Index, offering expats a smooth and easy relocation experience. It stands out for its affordable housing, easy access to public services, and low bureaucracy, outperforming other UAE cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which ranked second and third. All three cities excel in key areas such as securing visas, dealing with local government, and opening bank accounts, making them popular choices for expats.

RAK shines particularly in housing, ranking 4th for ease of finding accommodation and 2nd for affordability. Nearly 72% of expats find housing easy to secure, well above the global average of 45%. In comparison, Abu Dhabi and Dubai rank lower for affordability, placing 12th and 20th, respectively. Interestingly, just 31% of expats in RAK expressed concerns about housing or bureaucratic hurdles before moving, much lower than the global average of 71%.
RAK remains a top choice for expats due to its overall ease of settling in, affordable living, and efficient public services, making it an attractive option for anyone looking to relocate to the UAE.
