A fund created by late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan has approved plans to construct a Dhtwo billion city for Emiratis in Ras Al Khaimah within a strategy to build integrated housing areas that include all necessary services.

The Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme will invest Dh2 billion to build the new city that includes 2,000 houses accommodating nearly 10,000 people on the basis of an average Emirati family of five.



The project is located between Emirates and Mohammed bin Zayed Roads in the northern emirate and it is scheduled to be launched in 2015.

“The first phase includes 500 houses. The whole project is expected to be completed within four to five years,” said Mohammed Al Haram, project director

“The project is part of a new strategy by the programme to build cities that accommodate a large number of people and are provided with all needed services.”
