More about Ras Al Khaimah

Map the worksite and the staff entrance

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone lists sites including Al Ghail and Al Hamra. Ask which zone the job is in before checking the commute. If it’s a resort role, check whether the workplace is on Al Marjan Island and whether staff housing is on the island or elsewhere. For an industrial role, ask for the site entrance and the start time of your earliest shift. For a resort job, ask where the staff entrance is, where the shuttle leaves from and whether it covers late finishes. If the employer names several sites, ask where you’ll be based during training and afterwards.

Find out where staff housing is

If the package includes staff housing, find out whether it’s on Al Marjan Island or elsewhere, then use our guide to offers with staff accommodation to check what you’d pay for yourself.
