Rász el-Haima

Ras al-Khaimah Essentials

Ras Al Khaimah’s landscape is defined by the Hajar Mountains, including Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak. This list covers the emirate’s historical defense systems, such as the 18th-century Dhayah Fort and Al Hisn Fort, which now houses the National Museum. It includes the world’s longest zipline and the abandoned 14th-century pearl-diving settlement of Jaziraah Al Hamra. For nature and recreation, the selection features the Wadi Al Far hiking trails and Saqr Park, the region’s largest public green space.
