Ras Al Khaimah Travels
Desert, Mountains & Beaches Away from the Hustle and Bustle
Discover the authentic emirate between the Hajar mountains, sand dunes, and tranquil luxury resorts.
Ras Al Khaimah is perhaps the most original of the United Arab Emirates – and that is exactly what makes it appealing. Between golden dunes, rugged mountains, and the sparkling Persian Gulf unfolds a region full of contrasts: close to nature, culturally rooted, and at the same time open to modern travelers who value quality and tranquility.
Whether you ride through the expanse of the desert, drive up Jebel Jais – the highest mountain in the emirates – or retreat to a private resort on the coast: Ras Al Khaimah gives you space to arrive.
We plan your trip individually – with selected experiences, special accommodations, and a feel for what makes this region so special.

Good to Know about Ras al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah or Dubai – two emirates, two completely different journeys
Anyone who knows Dubai will sense Ras Al Khaimah. And anyone wishing to compare the two will quickly realize: They are two worlds. Dubai impresses with skyscrapers, pace, and grand gestures. Ras Al Khaimah, on the other hand, offers space – for landscapes, for tranquility, and for travels that feel authentic.
Here, you won't encounter the next attraction but openness: Mountain roads that wind through the Hajar mountains. Dunes that glow in the evening light. Beaches where no one is in sight for miles.
Many of our guests come to Ras Al Khaimah because they want to experience tranquility, not just wonder. They seek the quiet alternative without having to forgo comfort, quality, or experiences. And exactly that is what they find here.
Natural Wonders in Ras Al Khaimah – Emirates as You Wouldn't Expect
Ras Al Khaimah is a destination for nature lovers – and for those who want to see more in the Emirates than glass skylines. The Hajar mountains stretch across the north of the region, offering wide views over valleys, stone terraces, and gorges. Anyone who has driven over Jebel Jais early in the morning immediately senses: This is not about spectacle, but about genuine awe.
At the same time, the desert begins just south of the city. Quiet, vast, and intense in the light of the setting sun. We know hidden spots where you can be alone – whether on a camel ride, picnic, or sundowner. And those seeking the coast will also find it: with calm beaches, mangroves, and shallow lagoons.
These landscapes are not a sideshow. They are the reason many of our guests prefer Ras Al Khaimah to the hustle and bustle of other emirates.
Ras Al Khaimah & Oman – Two Regions, One Journey with Depth
Those traveling in Ras Al Khaimah are geographically just a step away from Oman – and thematically in another world. Only about an hour by car separates the emirate from Musandam, the Omani enclave with its rugged rock bays and fjord-like coasts. We love to combine these two regions – because they complement each other without repeating themselves. Ras Al Khaimah offers comfort, openness, and modern retreats. Musandam appears more original, maritime, and almost Nordic in character – especially on a boat tour on a traditional dhow or during a picnic in a secluded cove.For travelers who appreciate tranquility, nature, and authenticity, this combination is a true experience. And honestly: Anyone who drives through the rocks of Musandam in the evening light quickly forgets about Dubai.
Cultural Insights that Don't Feel Staged
Ras Al Khaimah is not a place of grand gestures – but one that tells a lot when you listen closely. Unlike in the larger cities of the emirates, a well-established everyday culture has been preserved here, which relies on real insights rather than show.
The Dhayah Fort lies on a hill overlooking the coastal plain. Climbing the steps, you see not only palm groves and mountains but also understand something of the history of this country. In Al Jazirah Al Hamra, an abandoned fishing village, you feel transported to another time – a place we love to explore quietly with our guests.
And then there are the little things: the bread from the clay oven, the pottery workshop, the invitation to Arabic coffee. It is precisely these experiences that make Ras Al Khaimah special and leave lasting memories of a journey here.
