Beach breaks and city scapes

Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE’s northernmost emirate, and puts a lot of its weight behind its peaceful waterfront. There are over 40 miles of terracotta-tinted sand for you to sprawl out on, the best of which is nestled near the emirate’s capital, Ras Al Khaimah City. Here, you can break up stints on the beach with trips to swish shopping centres.
