Ras Al Khaimah’s universities are changing what they teach as the emirate prepares for thousands of new jobs.

With Wynn Al Marjan Island ramping up recruitment, thousands of new workers are expected to move to Ras Al Khaimah. But where are they all going to live, and could the hiring boom give RAK’s property market another major boost?
