Any inmates ? Any info would be appreciated. Rent or buy ? costs ? peace and quiet or building noises ?
Thank you.

Buying is not a bad option. An apartment at Al Hamra will set you back around 1m dirhams. Living there would probably by nice once it is all finished in a few years.
RAK town looks pretty dodgy to me.

The whole of RAK feels like Sharjah's industrial area.

I bought a house there earlier this year as a weekend pad and the prices are rising rapidly. There are massive delays with handover at present due to lack of power and water supplies.

Depends where you are sitauted with regards to building noise, they haven't started developing either of the two islands yet, so beware of looking onto those.

The build is Ok in my opinion, but the fittings are crap. I got in early enough to get them to leave out kitchen, bathrooms, wardrobes etc

Once the mall and the '7 star' hotel have opened it will have a bit more life. It is very quiet there, so depends what you are looking for........

Having spent several hours trying to find a decent, make that any, electric cooker(s) in RAK, HELP please !

Smeg, Siemens etc widely available in Dubai. Most places n Dubai will deliver to RAK either free or for a very small delivery charge

I think C4 in RAK can order electric, you have to ask but not sure which make though....
