This region is famous for its rich historical heritage, natural attractions, healing springs, and fertile land that yields abundant crops of fruits and vegetables. The emirate itself and its main city are commonly referred to as RAK.
Colorful Ras Al Khaimah stretches along 18 km of the warm, gentle, and welcoming waters of the Persian Gulf, making it an inviting destination all year round. It is distinct from the urban, modern, and magnificent city of Dubai, located just 80 km away. However, Ras Al Khaimah is ready to offer its guests its own equally fascinating opportunities for a pleasant, comfortable, and enjoyable experience.
