Welcome

Welcome to Visit Ras Al Khaimah

Visit Ras Al Khaimah is the official site of the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority. It covers things to do, where to stay and events across the emirate, from Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates at 1,934 metres, to more than 60 km of coastline, and it carries civil wedding offers from six hotels.

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.

About

Visit Ras Al Khaimah

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.
