Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority

Ras Al Khaimah offers an experience of a lifetime where travellers can feel the Emirate’s beating heart across a range of landscapes from the sea and beach, desert and mountain range. With over 7,000 years of fascinating history, traditions and culture, Ras Al Khaimah promises an authentic and easily accessible Arabian experience. A haven of year-round sunshine, the Emirate features pristine beaches, lush mangrove trees and terracotta dunes, as well as fertile, green oases and the dramatic, awe-inspiring vistas of the majestic Hajjar mountains, including the UAE’s highest mountain peak – Jebel Jais – where temperatures are around 10 degrees lower than sea level. Named the Gulf Tourism Capital for the second consecutive year, much of Ras Al Khaimah’s popularity comes from the increasing ease of accessibility. Located a few short hours by flight from various key European hubs, the Emirate has a robust aviation development strategy. Recent partnerships and new routes via commercial and chartered flights by SmartWings, Ural Airlines, SCAT Airlines, Spice Jet and Rossiya Airlines, strengthen footfall from Kazakhstan, India and Russia respectively. Ras Al Khaimah is also just 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport by road.
