While a few of the emirates have developed as lavish, sophisticated metropolitan centres, RAK has remained more of a hidden treasure, attempting to keep loyal to its heritage and promise tourists a more real Arabian experience. Having said that, the emirate does provide a diverse choice of lodging alternatives, ranging from magnificent beachside resorts to relatives and budget-friendly motels.

Among among them is the huge, opulent Cove Rotana, which runs along a secluded beach and combines eating and relaxation with Arabian flair. Aside from Rotana, travellers may also stay at DoubleTree by Hilton,Waldorf Astoria, Ritz-Carlton, Radisson, and the Inter-Continental Mina Al Arab. If you've got limited time and are looking for an interesting local experience, come to the Bassata Dunes or the Bedouin Oasis Camp for an incredible Arabian adventure situated in the sand dunes, replete with fire shows, camel rides, and henna painting. One of the attractions of the trip is a real Arabian spread, which includes a broad selection of meats, rice, hummus, and much more.

Adventure seekers should experience the Jais Flights, the world's lenghty zipline (World Record) that travels back to ground surface at an estimated 150kmph. Puro 1484, somewhere at top of Jebel Jais, is the greatest eatery in the UAE, offering a variety of exotic specialties combined with cool beverages, not to include a breathtaking view.

Tourists may learn about the region's pearling heritage at the Suwaidi Pearls Farm, which was founded in 2005 by Abdulla Al Suwaidi. The farm is situated at the base of the Al-Hajar mountainous region, and the journey begins with boarding a classic pearling boat and sailing through mangroves to reach a floating pearls farm. The experience is interactive and provides unique insights into the cultivation and harvesting of pearls. If you want to discover more about RAK, the National Gallery of Ras Al Khaimah displays artefacts and antiques that give an insight into the region's rich history and culture.
