About
Visit Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah has a heritage that spans more than 7,000 years, a coastline of more than 60 km with white beaches, mangroves, creeks and lagoons, and Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates, in the Hajar mountains.
Dhayah Fort stands on a 70 metre hill above the palm groves, built in the 19th century on Late Bronze Age foundations and reached by 239 steps. The Suwaidi Pearl Farm, established in 2005, takes visitors out on a traditional pearling boat through the mangroves.
The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority publishes the Visit Ras Al Khaimah site, with guides to things to do, hotels and events, and a page of civil wedding offers from six hotels.

Highlights
What to see and do
The Jais Flight zipline
At 2.83 km, the Jais Flight on Jebel Jais is described as the world's longest zipline. The ride takes about three minutes at speeds of up to 150 km an hour, from a platform 1,680 metres above sea level.
A morning at the Suwaidi Pearl Farm
The tour takes about two and a half hours on a traditional pearling boat through mangroves and coastal wetlands. Visitors open oysters, with a 60 per cent chance of finding at least one pearl.
Dhayah Fort at sunset
The climb is 239 steps up a 70 metre hill, uneven and rocky, with no lighting, so daylight visits are advised. The fort sits above twelve Wadi Suq tombs.
Beaches and the water
Al Rams Beach and Saraya Island offer kayaking and paddle boarding. Sea temperatures run from about 19 degrees in winter to over 30 degrees in July.

Jebel Jais rises to 1,934 metres above sea level and is the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates. Visits are recommended from October to April.

Yes. Six hotels carry civil wedding offers on the Visit Ras Al Khaimah site, with special room rates and honeymoon amenities. Several run to the end of December 2026.
What is the Jais Flight?
A zipline of 2.83 km, described as the world's longest, on Jebel Jais. The ride takes about three minutes.
Do I need a visa for the UAE?
It depends on your passport. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists UK, US, Australian, Canadian and EU citizens as visa free and Indian citizens as needing a visa, and your passport must be valid for at least six months from entry. Tourist visas are applied for online through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, or through airlines, licensed travel agents or hotels.
Can non-Muslim couples marry in the UAE?
Yes. Federal law provides for civil marriage for non-Muslims, and non-Muslims can also complete marriage formalities at their own embassy or consulate in the UAE or at a temple or church. The rules for each emirate differ, so ask your hotel which route applies in Ras Al Khaimah.
