DISCOVER RAS AL KHAIMAH

The most far northern emirate of the United Arab Emirates and just under an hour's drive from the dazzling lights of Dubai is Ras al Khaimah. Nestled at the foot of the magnificent Al Hajar Mountains, this largely unexplored emirate boasts sweeping deserts, lush mangroves, long stretches of pristine beaches dotted with tranquil lagoons and some of the most luxurious resorts to be found in the UAE.

This lesser-visited emirate, affectionately known as RAK, offers its visitors a fantastic mix of activities, from indulgent honeymoon resorts to adrenaline-fuelled adventures and like its neighbours, doesn’t scrimp on the glossy shopping malls and first-class dining scene either.

THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE UAE

Invitingly dreamy white sands stretch for miles along a coastline fringed by beautiful blue seas in Ras al Khaimah. Al Marjan, consisting of 4 coral shaped man-made islands, boasts luxury beachfront resorts, promenades and fantastic water sports in its calm waters whilst Al Hamra village is home to a pretty marina where you’ll find speed boats and yachts moored against a backdrop of chic apartments and a championship golf course.

Away from the beaches, a more authentic Arabian experience can be found in the terracotta desert, with its sweeping sand dunes and traditional Bedouin hospitality. Explore on camel or horseback or if you prefer to be on 4 wheels rather than 4 legs, brave a dune bashing 4x4 ride. After all that excitement, enjoy a candlelit dinner under the stars at a Bedouin camp and if you choose to, stay the night in your own private tent.

Ras al Khaimah is famous for its natural attractions, and visitors in the know return year after year for its endless range of activities such as mountain biking, rock climbing, wadi safaris, falconry, river cruises, and not forgetting the worlds longest zip line! Thrill-seekers can travel at speeds of over 90mph at a height of 1,680 metres above sea level on top of the highest mountain in the UAE, Jebel Jais.

Despite being a relative newcomer in terms of tourism, thanks to its abundance of activities and exceptionally well-priced luxury hotels, Ras al Khaimah won’t stay under the radar for long.
