Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah is the northernmost emirate of the UAE. Located about 45-minute-drive away from Dubai and bounded by the mighty Hajjar Mountains, Ras Al Khaimah travel offers the right balance of Arabian culture, modernity, and natural beauty.

The place is characterized by an astonishing blend of a consummate desert landscape and stunning coastlines with immaculate beaches. Evidently, outdoor activities and water sports form its main appeal. For extreme adventurists, the major Ras Al Khaimah attraction is the RAK Zipline built across the UAE’s tallest mountain, Jebel Jais.  It’s the world’s longest zip line which allows you to fly like a superhero at speeds going up to 150 miles per hour.

Ras Al Khaimah further has no shortage of attractions that make it a world-class tourist destination. Explore the shopping, golf and other high-end leisure attractions spread across the man-made Al Marjan Island and Al Hamra. If this is not enough, plow through the region’s traditional attractions including souks and fish market to shop within an old-world ambiance.

Finally, visit Ras Al Khaimah for its string of cultural attractions that shed light on the region’s ancient past: the palace-turned National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah, Dhayah Fort, the ancient settlement of Shimal and the mysterious Jazirat Al Hamra are just a few to mention.
