Nestled in the northernmost area of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a little-known emirate steeped in 7,000 years of fascinating history and culture – Ras Al Khaimah. If Dubai is known for its impressive skyline of skyscrapers and Abu Dhabi for progression and tradition, then Ras Al Khaimah, known to locals as RAK, boasts the most diverse scenery you can find in the UAE.
Fancy a drive across the incredible desert sands of Ras Al Khaimah? Jump on a luxury SUV for a ride along the slithering dunes. Do not let the barren-looking desert land fool you, for there are lush, leafy oases and authentic tented desert camps tucked away, waiting to be discovered by the curious traveler.
One such gem is the Bedouin Oasis Desert Camp which offers all the trimmings of a traditional magical experience of the Arabian desert. From speedily sandboarding down the golden, rolling dunes to surveying the orange peaks and valleys of the desert from atop a camel, to watching fire breathers and belly dancers perform under a blanket of twinkling stars, the camp is a one-stop shop to truly immerse yourself in the authentic Arabian spirit.
But that is not the only way to get powdery sand in between your toes.
Sun lounger-lovers will be pleased to find that Ras Al Khaimah is blessed with year-long sunshine, 64 kilometers of white sandy beaches, and sprawling lagoons just begging to be explored. So sit back, relax, and soak in the blissful Arabian sunshine as you take a breather and marvel at the clear and calm Arabian Gulf in the distance, stretching as far as your eyes can see. And while you are at it, keep your eyes peeled for a wild baby sea turtle scurrying away on the sand, as many of Ras Al Khaimah’s beaches are prime sea turtle nesting sites.
For a more immersive wildlife viewing, sign up for a trip out on the Arabian Gulf, home to colorful corals and beautiful marine life such as blacktip reef sharks and if you are lucky, the occasional playful dolphin or two. Then, cap off your exciting day with a beach barbecue feast as the sun sets and the sky is illuminated with pink and purple pastels.
