Area Overview
Description
Al Kharran is an established residential community in Ras Al Khaimah positioned between Al Manama-RAK Road (E18) and Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum Road, close to Al Qusaidat and Al Dhait South. It features a diverse mix of villas (including five-bedroom homes around 4,132 sq ft) alongside mid-rise apartment buildings with studios and two-bedroom units. The E18 connects directly to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) via the Al Kharran Roundabout, while the landmark Saqr Public Park offers pedal boats and family dining. The active local market sees villa rentals from AED 30,000 to 180,000 annually and sales from AED 270,000 to 1.9 million. As a local mainland district, foreign freehold eligibility should be confirmed.
