Al Marjan Island, Man-made island archipelago in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago of four coral-shaped islands extending into the Persian Gulf near Ras Al Khaimah. The development features luxury hotels, residential complexes, and waterfront restaurants spread across the connected landmass.

Construction of the island began in 2013 as part of Ras Al Khaimah's strategy to develop tourism and attract foreign investment. The project helped establish the region as a secondary travel destination within the United Arab Emirates.

The island blends contemporary architecture with Arabian design elements visible throughout its buildings and public spaces. Residents and visitors navigate through resort areas, housing developments, and waterfront pathways that shape daily life here.

The island is accessible via Marjan Island Boulevard and offers a range of accommodations from upscale hotels to residential complexes. Plan a daytime visit to enjoy the beaches and waterfront promenades with good daylight.

A future casino resort will introduce the first gaming facility in the United Arab Emirates when it opens. This development will set the island apart from other projects elsewhere in the country.
