Ras Al Khaimah Holidays

Sitting just an hour north of Dubai and nestled between the Al Hajjar Mountains and Persian Gulf, Ras Al-Khaimah rises from the Arabian Desert with the promise of sun, sea, and spectacular experiences in the United Arab Emirates.

Beaches
Over 60km of golden sands line the Ras Al-Khaimah waterfront, offering stunning views over the Persian Gulf. From its pristine coastline, you can enjoy a host of water sports all year round including scuba diving, sea fishing, speed boating, parasailing, and even water jetpacking.

Food & Drink
For a true Arabian experience, pull up a seat in one of Ras Al-Khaimah’s Arabian cafés specialising in local favourites such as falafel, kabsa, and harees with Emirati teas over card games and shisha pipes. Please be aware that alcoholic drinks are typically only served in hotels, bars, and nightclubs.

Culture
Ras Al-Khaimah’s people are warm, welcoming, and more than happy to share their culture and traditions with all who visit. Influences from its Islamic and Arabic history are visible throughout the city, from the traditional architecture of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque to the bustling atmosphere around the souks and markets.

Nightlife
Ras Al-Khaimah is a relatively quiet resort with the majority of bars and nightclubs located within hotels. Popular choices include the Cuban-themed Havana Bar, cocktails from the Sunset Bar, or live performances at Klub 88.
