Ras Al Khaimah Virtual Tour

Situated between the Hajar Mountains and the Persian Gulf, the city of Ras Al Khaimah is one of the most intriguing places for tourists in the UAE. The city is positioned in a way that the gulf divides it into two parts. The old city retains the name Ras Al Khaimah, while the newer part, housing the airport, is known as Al Hamra. These two halves of the city are connected by a bridge.

First and foremost, travelers who choose Ras Al Khaimah for their vacation should know about the local beaches. Incredibly clean and expansive sandy areas will delight any beach lover. Moreover, the beaches located around 25 km from the emirate's capital are almost wild. They provide excellent conditions for surfing, much to the delight of wave-catching enthusiasts.

In the tourist zone of Al Hamra, known as Al Haat, you'll discover mineral springs that have been used as the basis for various health-strengthening procedures.

The appearance of the old city of Ras Al Khaimah is exceptionally picturesque. You will find elegant mosques, ancient watchtowers, museums, and more that allow you to get a glimpse into the history of this remarkable city.
