ATTRACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Jabel Jais

KAYAKING IN THE MANGROVES The Ras Al Khaimah coast sits below the point where Hajar Mountains meet the sea and offers some excellent kayaking experiences. Steal a few hours early in the morning for kayaking in the mangroves and visit unspoiled beaches where you may spot flocks of flamingos and turtles.

Holidays aren’t just about sun, sea and sand and Ras Al Khaimah is an undiscovered outdoor adventure hotspot, with plenty of things to see and do. Choose from adrenalinefilled watersports, hiking, desert safaris, luxurious spas, go-karting, golf and much more. Explore the citiy, relax on the beach or watch the sun set over the desert. Visit the Jebel Jais Viewing Deck Park for a more laid back experience, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the majestic Hajar Mountains.

BEACH BARS AND LOUNGES When you’re in Ras Al Khaimah you’re in for a relaxing and fun-filled time. Along the pristine shoreline you’ll find beach bars and lounges offering a selection of cocktails, mocktails and dining options, with beautiful sunset views. Try Breakers Beach Bar & Lounge at The Cove Rotana, Rio Beach Bar at Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa or Le Chalet Restaurant at Hilton Al Hamra, to name a few.

EVENTS AND FESTIVALS With an all year-round calendar full of events, Ras Al Khaimah has something to offer all. From cultural celebrations and arty events, to festivals, sports and entertainment, you’ll be sure to discover the latest events and happenings around the emirate to add to your agenda or inspire a reason to visit.

A TASTE OF TRADITION You’ll be able to taste local food throughout the emirate – from the luxury of hotel restaurants, to the abundance of local cafés and food stalls. For a more ‘traditional’ dining experience head to Al Fanar restaurant, where the ambience resembles that of an Emirati family home in the 1930s and the menu is pure UAE with all of its eastern influences. Round off the meal with a stop at Ras Al Khaimah’s oldest icecream shop Ashuk, and don’t miss the chance to sip a local tea ‘karak’ from one of the tea and coffee stalls.
