It is administered by the Al Marjan Island Company.[1] Several resorts, beaches and other tourism destinations are located in the four islands, being one of the UAE's top tourism spots.[2] The area received over 100 thousand visitors during 2013.[2][3][4] HistoryStarted as a tourism enterprise, the five-year construction development started in 2013 now harbors a quasi-metropolis, fully equipped with a developed residential area and hospitality industry, as well as adjoining infrastructure.[5] Although still under development, at full operation, it is expected to host up to 20 thousand party-goers at its clubs, hotels and other facilities, with an estimated foreign investment starting at Dh19 billion.[6][7] The Island now houses 45% of the total 5-star hotel rooms in the Emirate through its 3 resorts - the Rixos Bab Al Bahr, Hilton, and Al Marjan Island Hotel & Spa; capacity will exceed 10 thousand rooms by 2017 in the Emirate, half of it in the Island.[4][8][9] While more than 100 thousand foreigners visited the Island during 2014, 23% of the total number of visitors during the first quarter of 2013 were UAE nationals.[4] The tourism industry is diversifying due to the slump in Russian inward tourism; the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority is now looking towards eastern Europe and the UK to prop up its numbers, with tourism expected to generate approximately 20% of the Emirate's GDP.[10][11] A project to build a soccer-themed resort sponsored by Real Madrid in the Island was scrapped in late 2013 due to lack of funding.[12] The RAK government, however, is in talks to reformulate that investment with the help of other investors.[13] GeographyThe island group consists of Breeze Island, Treasure Island, Dream Island and View Island.
