Khor Khwair

Khor Khwair is an industrial zone located next to Saqr Port in the city of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Located some 25km north of the city,[1] the zone contains marble and concrete manufacturing facilities as well as LPG processing and other industrial enterprises.

Quarrying operations in the area are monitored by the Ministry of Environment and Water (MoEW): however, the government of Ras Al Khaimah is a shareholder in Stevin Rock, one of the largest quarries in the area.
