Ras Al Khaimah Media Free Zone and Film City was launched 3 January 2006 [1][2][3], by the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAKFTZ) authority competing directly with Dubai Media City. RAKFTZ is being developed because of the increasing cost of living in Dubai, which makes Ras Al Khaimah an alternative place to go. RAK Free Trade Zone authority has licensed Mirage Holdings Freezone Company, LLC, Ras Al Khaimah, to operate the entire Film and Media City [4][5][6][7][8].
