"Consider buying investment property in any of the United Arab Emirates and, after Dubai, you are more than likely to draw a blank. But now with huge investment by the government and international companies, the FT has named Ras al-Khaimah as the most cost-efficient of the Emirates. Not surprisingly, with land and property space in Dubai in very short supply, its neighbour is reaping an advantage"
