United Arab Emirates<br />

The Cove, Ras Al Khaimah<br />

The UAE has seen massive real estate growth over the past<br />

few years, with Dubai taking the lion’s share of the development<br />

and profits.<br />

Ras Al Khaimah has been more moderate with its planning and we<br />

believe the destination will benefit from this phased development in the<br />

long term. Its planning strategy complements our own business model<br />

in its desire to develop carefully and with consideration for the future.<br />

Work began on The Cove during 2005, when the Government of UAE<br />

invited OHD to develop a residential resort. The main bulk of the project<br />

was undertaken during 2006 with the announcement of an agreement<br />

with the management company Rotana, a renowned operator specialising<br />

in Middle East properties. it will manage The Cove Rotana Resort and<br />

Spa, an exclusive four star hotel with a distinctively luxurious feel.<br />
