Dhayah Fort
Dhayah Fort, a castle-like structure, is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and stands proud amidst the arid mountains and fertile date wadis of northern Emirate Ras Al Khaimah.
The fort forms the centre of this lush oasis and boasts spectacular views from the mountains across palm trees and verdant lands to neighboring Oman and down to the sea.
National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is one of the few places that has continuously been inhabited throughout its history, making it one of the longest-settled places in the world.
To celebrate the Emirate’s history, The National Museum houses an impressive collection of archaeological and ethnological artifacts for visitors to explore.
Archaeological excavations reveal that advanced trading civilizations have existed in this region since 5000 BC.
Over 1000 individual archaeological sites and antiquities are scattered around the Emirate, which is a testament to its ancient origins.
Ras Al Khaimah’s location was a strategic link for trade with Mesopotamia between 5500 and 3800 BC. In addition, ancient records show that Ras Al Khaimah inhabitants traveled to India, China, and Zanzibar during the 10th century.
Al Wadi Equestrian Adventure Centre
The Al Wadi Equestrian Adventure Centre is nestled amidst the rolling red dunes of Ras Al Khaimah’s desert lands.
The centre is home to beautiful Arabian horses, the rare oryx, swaggering camels, pretty desert foxes, and if you are very fortunate the shy desert cat.
The unspoiled environment affords an exceptionally authentic experience as you experience the wilds of Emirati nature at its finest.
Hiking
Ras Al Khaimah is home to the towering Jebel Jais mountain peak that bravely rises almost two kilometers above the Arabian Gulf.
The hairpin road gloriously meanders through ruddy barren landscapes, deep chasms, and rugged bluffs.
On your way up, there are various photogenic opportunities around every bend.
Close to the summit is the ultimate viewing deck that affords breathtaking views across more of the Hajar Mountain range, rolling desert scapes, and finally to the Arabian Gulf.
