About Us
Ras Al Khaimah Municipality was established in 1959 by an Emiri decree issued by His Highness Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, to facilitate the functioning of different authorities in the emirate such as the ports, land and traffic departments.
His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the then Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, issued Resolution No. 5 of 2004 under the Municipal Law of the Year 1981 to enhance the organisational structure of the Municipality. This enabled the Municipality to keep pace with economic, urban, commercial and environmental developments taking place in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
Ras Al Khaimah Municipality has since adopted modern systems by electronically linking all municipal departments to ensure quality and speed of procedures.

Message from the Director General
Building on the success of the Energy Efficiency and Renewables Strategy 2040, Ras Al Khaimah Integrated Sustainability Strategy 2050 takes a more holistic approach to maximise impact across sectors and deliver long-term value to residents and businesses in the emirate, while supporting the UAE’s broader sustainability agenda.
From an institutional standpoint, in 2017, Ras Al Khaimah Municipality created a dedicated office (Reem) to drive, monitor and report on the implementation of the Energy Efficiency and Renewables (EE&R) Strategy now expanded to the broader RIS Strategy. A committee was established to guide and support Reem, comprising entities with leading roles in implementing the Strategy.
I would like to express my appreciation for the valuable support offered by our stakeholder entities. To our committee, to Reem and to all implementing entities my wish and recommendation is: make a difference and be practical.
