Detailed itinerary

On the day you decide to explore the attractions in Ras Al Khaimah, we shall conveniently pick you up from your hotel in Dubai and set off to an amazing tour that stops at every must see place in Ras Al Khaimah.

Your first step out of the car takes you to the Al Jazirat al Hamra fishing village, translated as ‘The Red Island’, an ancient abandoned world as old as the 16th century. Dust out the reasons from its red sands remnants to know why the villagers left, leaving the rest to the hands of nature.

A visit to the National Museum will certainly open up a treasure box of rare facts that reveal the secrets behind the immediate growth of the nation. The coral stone building and other buildings house some of the rarest and exclusive artifacts with the essence of the old Arabia.

Stop 4

Did you know that the Dhayah Fort was the last place of resistance for the Arabs during the battle of 1819? It is the best place to visit and learn all about the strategic positions opted by the Arabs during the battle. The place is equally visited for its adventurous climb and the stunning view of the town.

Experience the ultimate beach vacation at this man-made archipelago, where you can snap beautiful pictures and enjoy exciting water adventures, shopping or even dining on any four different islands.

The uniqueness of the Mohammed Bin Salim mosque lies in its humble architecture made of coral stone and beachrock which is completely unlike the other luxurious mosques of the country. With its basic yet striking designs, it is said that since 400 years people still continue to come and pray in this architectural charm.

Strike your best deals at the Old Souk Market or just stroll around in those vintage streets where you can find anything and everything that reminds you of the authenticity of the place.

You can feel the difference of coming from a different world once you step out of the souk, and while you figure that out, we can safely drop you back at Dubai.
