Travel & Tourism Agency in RAKEZ

Why RAKEZ

As we tell every client, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. RAKEZ is located in Ras Al Khaimah emirate — 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days (Monday to Friday). RAKEZ is a sensible home for travel & tourism agency because inbound and outbound travel, tour operating, ticketing and holiday packages is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
