Ras Al Khaimah, the cradle of ancient Arabian civilization, a tranquil little emirate of the United Arab Emirates where age-old tradition and modern life co-exist in perfect harmony. Here an indented sea coast with its creeks and lagoons, sandy deserts, intensely green plains and rugged mountains offer rich variety – diving, fishing, camel rides, wadi bashing, desert safaris, trekking, climbing and more.
The ancient fort of Ras Al Khaimah presents an extraordinary introduction to the traditions and stirring history of the emirate, with exhibitions of natural history, archaeology and the crafts.

Dotted with fresh springs and rolling wadis, historic forts, old villages, quaint watchtowers, delightful coconut groves and shops with colourful merchandise spilling over to the pavements, Ras Al Khaimah is situated between dynamic Dubai and historic Oman – far from the hustle of the city life, yet a short distance from modern metropolis.
