The UAE is very well known as a cultural and historical hub bringing in immense volumes of tourists and locals together to bask in the vast amounts of luxury and high-end services. Ras Al Khaimah in particular is one of the best options for this because it perfectly encapsulates adventure with culture.
When looking at things to do in Ras Al Khaimah, it is important to know where to go and what to do before embarking on your journey. The Al Jazirat Al Hamra Ghost Town is an amazing option due to the close proximity to popular accommodation sites such as Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort. Once an ancient fishing village, it has now been abandoned and preserved as a "ghost town," offering a unique glimpse into the rich past of Ras Al Khaimah. The village's buildings are mainly a collection of coral stone houses, mosques, and marketplaces that showcase what life looked like in the UAE prior to the economic bloom due to the exportation of oil.
The Jebel Jais is the tallest location in Ras Al Khaimah making it the perfect spot for those looking to capture stunning sunrise or sunset photographs or those who simply want to embrace the beauty surrounding Ras Al Khaimah. The Jebel Jais Flight, which has been named the world's longest zipline, is also an activity that thrill-seekers simply must experience. It spans an incredible 2.8 kilometres and allows you to speed past rocky terrain at up to 150 km/h, creating a feeling of extreme intensity and an adrenaline rush.
The National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah is home to a large volume of artifacts that display the true essence and beauty of this city. These items are oozing with culture, history, and local significance due to the parts they played in helping shape the current future of the UAE. This museum hosts a large array of rare archaeological finds, traditional weapons, pottery, and pearl diving equipment offering a unique look into the lives of those who lived in Ras Al Khaimah.
Some of the most beautiful and tranquil beaches in the UAE may be found along Ras Al Khaimah's coastline. After a long day of visiting Ras Al Khaimah, the beaches are the ideal spot to rest and unwind because they have acres of smooth white sand and clear turquoise waters. Furthermore, these beaches are a great place for family-friendly events where the kids can play in the water and the parents can unwind in the Ras Al Khaimah sun.
The Al Wadi Desert is a must-experience location offering unique experiences and breathtaking landscapes that will redefine deserts. Dune bashing across the massive sand dunes in a 4x4 vehicle is a very popular way to explore this vast desert terrain while keeping your adrenaline pumping. The desert's remote location makes it an ideal spot for stargazing because the lights from the city will not get in the way of the natural cosmic scenery.
