Business in Ras Al Khaimah
Limestone and gabbro quarried from the Hajar Mountains feed the emirate's main industries: cement, aggregates and RAK Ceramics, one of the world's largest ceramics makers, with bulk exports leaving through Saqr Port. Julphar pharmaceuticals is headquartered here, RAKEZ licenses thousands of small manufacturers and traders, and hotels on Al Marjan Island and at Al Hamra add a growing tourism trade.
Also known as RAK and Ras al-Khaimah.
Where software helps: Quarry, ceramics and building-materials producers shipping bulk exports through Saqr Port need weighbridge-linked dispatch, tonnage-based billing and export documents tied to each vessel or truck load.
