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 banking on the fact that Dubai's cost of living is sky rocketing and Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) is the place to go, to avoid all that expensive cost of setting up a business. 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].
