Emirates Council for Balanced Development launches development works for Al Rams Waterfront, Al Rams Boulevard projects in Ras Al Khaimah

emirates7 - The Emirates Council for Balanced Development announced the launch of development works for the Al Rams Waterfront and Al Rams Boulevard projects in the Al Rams area of Ras Al Khaimah, in a step that supports the Council’s efforts to transform UAE villages and rural areas into integrated development destinations that enhance community quality of life and support sustainable development pathways.

The two projects fall within the Council’s vision to develop vibrant destinations and highlight national identity. The waterfront project includes the development of Al Rams Corniche and Al Rams Marina, while the boulevard project will redevelop the area’s main commercial corridor and connect it to the corniche through an integrated urban system.

Stretching across 2,000 metres, the Al Rams waterfront will feature dedicated tracks for walking, cycling and jogging, in addition to public facilities, parking spaces, landscaped green areas, playgrounds and dedicated plazas for hosting events and community activities, reinforcing the area’s position as a hub for social and cultural interaction and as a safe, organised environment for sports and recreational activities.

The project also includes the construction of a landmark inspired by authentic Emirati heritage, representing a distinctive addition that reflects the uniqueness of the location and highlights its connection to cultural heritage, while enhancing its visual identity as a community and tourism destination.

The Al Rams Boulevard project aims to renovate and rehabilitate more than 100 existing shops under a unified and modern visual identity inspired by local heritage. The project will also provide parking spaces and public seating areas.

At the heart of the project, a shaded pedestrian walkway inspired by the traditional Emirati Al Sadu weaving art will connect shopfronts and extend seamlessly towards Al Rams Corniche.

To ensure the continuity of local commercial activity, construction works will be implemented in carefully planned phases designed to minimise disruption to shop owners throughout the execution period.

The Emirates Council for Balanced Development continues to implement qualitative initiatives aimed at developing UAE villages and rural areas and transforming them into attractive destinations that offer integrated community experiences reflecting the authenticity of the Emirati environment and supporting balanced development pathways.
