Ras
Al Khaimah is among the fastest growing tourism destinations
in the Arabian Gulf region. The majestic Hajjar mountains scraping
the clouds at 1900 meters, the lovely Musandam peninsula, calm
blue seas with clean white beaches stretching over 40 kms, dramatic
desert dunes, timeless cultural legacies and the special warmth
of Arab hospitality. All these fuse seamlessly at RAK, driving
its remarkable growth in the tourism sector.
The Ras Al Khaimah Government has aptly called its ambitious
Tourism Master Plan: “Ras Al Khaimah -Top of the Emirates".
