Ras
Al Khaimah is among the fastest growing
tourism destinations in the Arabian
Gulf region. The majestic Hajjar mountains
scraping the clouds at 1900 meters,
the lovely Musandam peninsula, calm
blue seas with clean white beaches stretching
over 40 kms, dramatic desert dunes,
timeless cultural legacies and the special
warmth of Arab hospitality. All these
fuse seamlessly at RAK, driving its
remarkable growth in the tourism sector.
The Ras Al Khaimah Government has aptly
called its ambitious Tourism Master
Plan: “Ras Al Khaimah -Top of
the Emirates".
