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".
