Wynn Ras Al Khaimah on alert after Iran targeted Dubai

In the wake of the conflict in the Middle East, Wynn Resorts, which is building Wynn Al Marjan Island in the UAE’s Ras Al Khaimah emirate, has revealed that the company is monitoring the situation and has plans for staff safety.

Wynn Resorts’ $5.1 billion casino complex is in the process of construction and is scheduled to open in 2027; however, the recent developments of Iran striking Dubai with missiles and drones may delay the opening date of the resort.

Strikes have taken place in Dubai International Airport and Abu Dhabi, and reports show that debris from an intercepted drone fell on a residential area of Ras Al Khaimah on March 2, 2026.

Wynn Resorts commented:

“We are closely monitoring the situation and have plans in place to secure the safety of our employees should the situation necessitate it.”

As a result of the ongoing regional threats, Wynn Resorts’ shares fell by $4.75 on Nasdaq and closed at $103.44 on March 2, 2026.

Since the attacks, the U.S. State Department has warned Americans to leave the area because of increasing safety risks.
