Golden sands of desert in Ras al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

Ras al Khaimah holidays

Ras Al Khaimah is the northernmost emirate of the United Arab Emirates and is a haven for lovers of the great outdoors. With unspoiled sandy beaches and sprawling oases all tied together by a mesmerising mountainous backdrop, its diverse landscape presents an array of postcard-worthy views. As more holidaymakers visit to the Middle East for a no expenses spared escape, more than ever before are choosing to flock to Ras Al Khaimah. It comes as no great surprise that the integration of luxury resorts and new leisure facilities has seen a major upsurge in tourism across the region. What was once seen as a place for a charming day trip away from the glitz and glamour of its big city neighbours, including Dubai just a 45-minute drive away, this glistening jewel now stands on its own two feet as a holiday hotspot.
