A nature-driven destination of sprawling deserts, beaches and stunning mountain landscapes.
Ras Al Khaimah offers a lifetime experience where travellers can feel the Emirate’s beating heart across various landscapes, from the sea and beach to desert and mountain ranges. There is no need to choose between a beach holiday and a city break in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost of the United Arab Emirates. This place has something for everyone. It has a lively capital full of shops, bars, restaurants, and more than 40 miles of honey-coloured sand, all with views of the lunar-like Hajar Mountains.
It is only a 40-minute drive from Dubai Airport and has a perfect blend of the old and new UAE. Modern shopping malls sit alongside age-old spice souks, and fine dining restaurants make way for traditional Bedouin cafes, away from the glamorous hotels of the centre. The Al Wadi Desert has camps where you can sleep under the stars.
And Finally, we have to mention the city’s mangroves. They stretch along the coastline and through the urban centre- a fish, flamingos and birdlife hub. Explore by Kayak or paddle board, and you’ll experience total tranquillity and the buzz of the city along the way.
