Dubai vs Ras Al Khaimah: Indicative Procedure Ranges Side by Side
This page shows Zavis's indicative ranges for 40 procedures in Dubai and in Ras Al Khaimah, side by side. It does not show which of the two cities costs less. The ranges on this page are indicative figures compiled by Zavis. They are not taken from a published price list and are not quotes: each provider sets its own prices, so ask the clinic or hospital for a written quote before you book.
Indicative Ranges by Procedure
Procedures are grouped by category and listed in the guide's own order, not by the size of any difference. Each difference is the figure for Ras Al Khaimah minus the figure for Dubai, shown separately for the lower end and the upper end of the range. The differences shown are arithmetic on Zavis's indicative ranges. They do not show that care costs less in one city than in the other: only written quotes from providers can show that.

Dubai vs Ras Al Khaimah: Frequently Asked Questions
Does medical care cost less in Dubai or in Ras Al Khaimah?
Zavis's figures cannot tell you whether care costs less in Dubai or in Ras Al Khaimah. The differences shown are arithmetic on Zavis's indicative ranges. They do not show that care costs less in one city than in the other: only written quotes from providers can show that. Ask the clinic or hospital for a written quote, and ask what it includes: the consultation, tests, anaesthesia, consumables, follow-up visits and VAT. Then ask your insurer what your plan covers.
What do the differences in the Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah table mean?
Each difference is the figure for Ras Al Khaimah minus the figure for Dubai, worked out separately for the lower end and the upper end of the two indicative ranges. A plus sign means the figure for Ras Al Khaimah is the higher of the two, and a minus sign means it is the lower. It is arithmetic on indicative figures, not a measure of what providers in either city charge.
Why are the ranges wide?
Each provider sets its own prices, and what a quote includes differs from one provider to another, so Zavis gives a range and not a price.
Does my insurance work in both Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah?
Whether insurance pays depends on your plan. Ask your insurer what your plan covers and what you would pay before you book. Also ask your insurer whether the provider is in your plan's network in each city.
