In a groundbreaking collaboration with RAK Properties and SIE Group, Giorgio Armani has announced the launch of Armani Beach Residences Ras Al Khaimah.

This development will not only set new standards for elevated living in the emirate, but will deliver lasting value and create an unparalleled lifestyle experience within Mina,” shares Sameh Muhtadi, CEO, RAK Properties.
