Luxury Ras Al Khaimah holidays
Boasting a wealth of world-class hotels all comprising a plethora of family-friendly facilities, delicious dining destinations and a host of watersport opportunities, boredom simply isn’t in Ras Al Khaimah’s vocabulary.
The northernmost emirate is a world-away from its extravagant neighbours. Offering a slower-paced antidote to the buzz of Dubai, here rest and recuperation is top of the agenda, with the odd Middle Eastern adventure thrown in for good measure.
With the Hajar Mountains as its backdrop, breathtaking coastlines on its outskirt and rich terracotta desert planes everywhere in between, an authentic Middle Eastern experience is guaranteed in this scenic paradise. Explore the vast stretches of golden sand on a four-wheel drive safari or - for a more traditionally Arab adventure - enjoy a camel trek.
Would you rather have a more relaxing desert experience? The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert is your top spot. Saddle up at the equestrian centre or utterly indulge with a spa day. From massages to facials and even full body rituals, rest assured that every inch of your being will be rubbed, pummelled and preened as your stresses simply melt away. For the ultimate experience, why not stay overnight in a Bedouin tent?
Head back to civilisation you’ll find golfing opportunities as well as numerous family-orientated day trips. The arctic themed waterpark Ice Land Water Park is a sure way to cool off from the Arabian heat, while adrenaline junkies can soar through the mountain’s soaring peaks on the world’s longest zipline, reaching top speeds of 160kmph.
