Why visit Ras Al Khaimah?

Ras Al Khaimah is the northernmost of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, on the Arabian Gulf coast. It combines beaches and resorts with rugged mountains and a long history. It is a relaxed alternative to Dubai, which is within driving distance.

Jebel Jais, the highest mountain in the UAE, is reached by a winding mountain road and is home to Jebel Jais Flight, one of the world's longest zip lines. Hiking trails and viewing decks on the mountain offer cooler air and dramatic views. On the coast, long sandy beaches are lined with resorts, and kayaking among the mangroves is popular. Dhayah Fort, on a hilltop above palm groves, is a restored hilltop fort. The abandoned pearling village of Al Jazirat Al Hamra preserves old coral-stone houses. The National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah, in a historic fort, tells the story of the emirate.
