The beautiful up and coming emirates of Ras Al Khaimah is about an hour’s drive north of Dubai and offer exellent beaches and good value all-inclusive escapes in serene surroundings. Ras Al Khaimah is the perfect getaway from everyday life.
Offering magnificent landscapes, breathtaking coastlines and rich, terracotta desert planes, the emirate has firmly established itself as the UAE’s most authentic destination in the Middle East.
Ras Al Khaimah is the most northerly emirate on the UAE’s strech of Gulf coast, sitting on the fertile palm-filled plain with the Hajar Mountains in the background.
To the east of the emirate lies the border with a part of Oman known as the Musandam Peninsula, with lush, ford-like scenery that’s wonderful to see from a dhow cruise.
Its attractive private beaches have given rise to a number of resorts with good family appeal – kids will also like the fun attractions at Iceland Water Park.
Ancient forts, archaeological sites and and interesting maritime history add colour to this emirate – and when it comes to activities, try anything from a 4WD desert safari, off-road driving and hiking in Jais Mountain, to watching traditional camel racing.
Inland is the Banyan Tree Al Wadi resort, where you can experience the nature reserve at Wadi Khadeja spotting oryx and gazelles.
