Snøhetta has been commissioned by the Ras Al Khaimah investment Authority and RAKEEN to undertake the architectural design for the Gateway project in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Situated in the desert 150 km to the east of Dubai this landmark project will mark the gateway to the emirate and form the entrance to the new planned capital city of Ras Al Khaimah.
The urban master plan for the city is currently being under taken by the Netherlands based architectural practice OMA. The Gateway project is situated at the entrance to the city and will form a landmark for the city entrance.

Rakeen build around nature where the entire structure of the RAK Convention Centre is set directly on the natural land contours without any disturbance to the surroundings. This therefore retains as much of the original area as possible and maintains the majestic beauty of the sand dunes.

The ceramics we use are technologically advanced and are the products of our latest research, thereby providing a superior finish and an iconic look posting Ras Al Khaimah as the global capital of ceramics.
