RAS EL HEKMA CITY · THE WATERFRONT
The June toolkit shows three marinas. The brochure received on 2 October describes four. See the original plans, keep their dates and understand what each one tells you.
1,800+ total boat berths
Approximately 1,860 boats
Both describe proposed development. The October brochure has no publication date. A later receipt does not prove a new approved plan, or that a marina is open.

Each drawing has its own zoom and position. They are not aligned to each other or to satellite geography. Use the buttons to move inside a page; scrolling still moves the website.
Two domestic marinas and one international marina with a cruise terminal.
The larger blue circle has a combined international-marina and cruise-terminal label. The circle is an illustration marker, not a surveyed boundary.

The text describes four marinas, but these pages do not identify a fourth marker.
No fourth marina is placed on this map by the guide. The illustration is proposed design and does not locate a particular home.

WHAT THE WORDS MEAN
A berth is a space for a boat in a marina.
| Topic | June 2026 toolkit | Received 2 October 2026 | Guide reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marinas | 3 | 4 | Different printed counts. Neither edition confirms how many marinas are operating. |
| Boat capacity | 1,800+ total boat berths | approximately 1,860 boats | June prints “1,800+”; October gives an estimate. These figures do not prove a gain of 60 berths. |
| Superyachts | Not separately stated on this page | Around 200, 24–150 metres long | A subset of the approximately 1,860 boats, not 200 extra berths. No depth or allocation by marina is supplied. |
| Cruise terminal | 1, combined with the international-marina marker | Cruise destination described; terminal count not stated | No cruise operator, calls, timetable or operating terminal is confirmed. |
| Map positions | 2 domestic markers and 1 combined international/cruise marker | City map and marina illustration; no fourth-marina marker | The guide does not assign a fourth marina to an unlabelled inlet or draw a new boundary. |
Do not add a cruise terminal to the marina count. Do not add the approximately 200 superyachts to the approximately 1,860 boats. The two capacity descriptions are not enough to calculate an exact increase.
BEFORE MAKING A PLAN
Ask for the current approved marina plan and its date. A later-received brochure does not prove that every earlier layout has been replaced.
Ask about boat length, draft (depth below water), berth width, power, water, fees and booking terms. The brochure gives no allocation by marina.
Ask which promenade, canal edge and marina areas are open to residents, guests or the public, and which need separate access.
Ask for its building, floor and view study. A city map or marina illustration does not guarantee an apartment view or a private mooring.
Ask for construction, commissioning and opening dates separately, plus the future operator. These pages give no confirmed opening or cruise schedule.
A marina, canal, lagoon and sea beach serve different uses. Ask for the permitted swimming areas and water-management rules.
No opening, berth booking, public access, water depth, swimming permission or protected home view is confirmed by these source pages.
