In 2005, the Government of the Emirate of RAK in the United Arab Emirates invited the Group to develop a residential resort at Ras Al Khaimah. This emirate is located on the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula bordering the Omani exclave Musandam. The Cove project is located close to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and approximately 100 km north of Dubai. The development is in close proximity to leisure and town facilities, including shopping malls, supermarkets, international schools and hospitals.

The Cove comprises a total area of around 300,000 sqm, of which approximately 282,000 sqm have been developed. The project's first phase is now complete, offering 190 residential units and a five star hotel operated by Rotana. The Cove Rotana Resort and Spa soft opening took place in early February 2009, offering 204 rooms. The second phase of the projects comprises a residential compound with 80 apartments and is expected to be completed during the second half of 2009.
