Ras Al Khaimah

  • Mountains in Ras Al Khaimah with winding road running through them

Practically a hop, skip and jump from Dubai lies the region’s most northerly emirate, starkly contrasting the glowing city while still bursting with that familiar sense of wonder.

Lashings of sandy beaches and mountains reaching to the heavens top off a base of terracotta dunes in the signature cocktail that is Ras Al Khaimah.

Although headily enjoyed by the easy-going who relish time loafing beneath the sun, it’s the effervescent active sorts who get the most out of this desert destination. Splitting their time between horseback riding in the sand, archery, nature drives and stargazing.

Arabia

Searing Martian deserts and visionary futuristic cities, all with an underlying pulse of Arab tradition. You'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else on Earth that brings the same level of exquisitely clashing landscapes straight out of a sci-fi novel than cutting-edge Arabia.
