RAK’s next chapter: can a new property market become a global destination? – Construction Middle East Podcast with Benoît Meulewaeter, Director, Accuracy – EP3

We’re thrilled to release a new episode in our podcast series co-hosted with Construction Week Middle East, where we explore the forces reshaping the construction sector across the region.

This episode asks a bold question: can a new property market become a global destination?

Ras Al Khaimah has become one of the UAE’s most closely watched development stories. Major international investment, rapid growth in hospitality and branded residences, and the arrival of Wynn Al Marjan Island are bringing it unprecedented global attention. But can a landmark project genuinely transform the trajectory of an entire emirate? And what needs to happen around it – from infrastructure and investment to delivery capacity and government coordination – for that transformation to be sustainable?

This conversation goes beyond the headlines to explore:

  • How landmark developments can accelerate destination-building
    • Whether the construction market can deliver an ambitious pipeline
    • How delays, disputes and uncertainty affect investment decisions
    • What Ras Al Khaimah must build during its first-mover window to create lasting competitive advantage

Hosted by Benoit Meulewaeter, director at Accuracy, and Julianne Tolentino, editor at Construction Week Middle East, this episode features Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties.

Whether you are a construction professional, investor, developer or simply interested in the transformation of one of the UAE’s fastest-growing emirates, this episode is for you.
Real projects. Real decisions. Real impact.
