Why You Should Visit Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah boasts everything you expect from an Arabian destination richly endowed with beaches and otherworldly views of the mighty desert.
But here’s what’s unique about this relatively undeveloped destination: nowhere else in the region will you be able to combine visits to luxury restaurants and overnight stays in splendid hotels with nature and outdoor activities more than in Ras Al Khaimah.
Want to hike? Visit the Al Hajar mountain range, featuring Jebel Jais, its could-piercing highest peak.
This is also where you will find Jais Flight, the world’s longest zipline, which comes with some of the more stunning views of the region. Prefer a ride?
Try the Jais Sledder toboggan, which takes you along a series of spectacular hairpin curves throughout- an eight-minute-long downhill journey. Fancy a slice of Arabian culture instead?
Head over to the Dhayah Fort or the Al Jazeera Al Hamra, the only remaining historical pearling village in the entire Gulf region.
Then when you get back to town, there are myriad options to unwind with great food and wine before you end the night in one of the many entertainment venues in the Emirate. Check out our full Ras Al Khaimah itinerary here.
