8 hours Ras Al Khaimah Tour (Private)

Ras Al Khaimah has a rich history dating back some 7,000 years. In the 13th and 14th centuries, a prosperous port arose in the area we now know as Ras Al Khaimah. Then named Julfar, it became one of the most prominent trading posts in the Arabian Gulf and was widely known for its exquisite pearls. The state is about 130 kilometres northeast of Dubai, facing the tranquil Persian Gulf. Ras Al Khaimah is an up-and-coming tourism hub. It has scenic locations with diverse landscapes ranging from rolling sand dunes, coastal strips, salt flats, mangroves and mountains. There are sulfur springs near the mountain areas and the emirate is home to a diverse range of wildlife that includes foxes, jerboas and hundreds of bird species.

The highest peak in the UAE, Jebel Jais, is in Ras Al Kahimah. Standing 1,934 meters high, it is the site of the world’s longest zipline certified by Guinness World Records.
