Ras Al Khaimah holidays - An authentic Arabic experience

A naturally beautiful outdoor playground

Miles of sandy beach, soothing hot springs, rugged mountain ranges and sweeping terracotta desert plains…Ras Al Khaimah’s diverse landscapes make this Emirate a truly enticing destination. Standing out from its neighbouring emirates as a hub of natural beauty, Ras Al Khaimah is fast becoming one of the most popular emirates to visit.

This is a favoured location for outdoor adventurers. Whether you fancy hiking in the Hajar Mountains, fishing along the Arabian Gulf, getting some zen with a sunset yoga class, or playing a round of golf, RAK offers the best backdrop to an adventurous getaway.

It’s not just outdoor activities and lavish hotels here – there’s plenty of incredible culture and history too. Immerse yourself in the Emirate’s past with a trip to the ancient archaeological sites, or stroll through the locals’ streets in search of artisanal textiles and divine cuisine. No matter where you turn, you’ll be met with culture and excitement.

Please note: During Ramadan (approximately 17 February–18 March 2026 and 7 February–8 March 2027), Eid Al Fitr (approximately 19–20 March 2026 and 9-10 March 2027) and Eid Al Adha (approximately 26-30 May 2026 and 16-20 May 2027), there may be some restrictions on drinking and dining in Dubai and other Emirates.

While Ras Al Khaimah typically does not enforce dining or drinking restrictions during these religious periods, it's important to be aware that if you're planning a twin-centre holiday or excursions to Dubai or other Emirates, you may be affected by local regulations during these times. We recommend checking in advance and planning accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.
