Ras Al Khaimah Holidays

Ras Al Khaimah's relatively undiscovered beaches are sublime stretches of sun-kissed sands bordering the lovely warm waters of the Arabian Gulf. The private beaches belonging to the resort hotels are particularly hard to beat and many boast natural lagoons where all manner of watersports can be enjoyed from parasailing to banana boat rides and jet skiing.

Local museums and forts provide visitors with a glimpse of the Emirate's cultural life, history and heritage, which is rooted in a long tradition of literary work, camel races, falconry, traditional artwork, fishing, pearl farming and the cultural exchange brought about by trade routes. Notable sights include Dhayah Fort, the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah, Mohammed Bin Salim Mosque and Jazirat Al Hamra.

Whether you're looking for complete relaxation or an adrenaline rush, you won't be disappointed. The desert and mountains are ideal for safaris, nature trails and 4x4 dune bashing, alternatively there are two championship golf courses, horse riding, archery and not forgetting Iceland Waterpark which offers a thrilling variety of water slides for all ages. The Banyan Tree Al Wadi also has a wonderfully luxuriant spa set within the most opulent desert surroundings, so why not spoil yourself?

Those in need of some retail therapy will find some great malls offering a blend of shopping, entertainment and dining options, including Al Hamra Mall, RAK Mall and Manar Mall. For more traditional shopping, there are souks and markets with an array of goods to browse and buy.
