For a long time, a very beautiful emirate, located in the northern part of the UAE and called “the pirate coast” for a long time, has been attracting tourists, because the convenient and favorable location for viewing at one time attracted pirates who built their base here. Ras Al Khaimah is interesting for ancient forts and unusual villages, springs and magnificent picturesque hills, beautiful palm groves and desert dunes.
In all centuries, and this oasis has been counted for four centuries, the locals were engaged in shipping and trade with other countries. Archaeological finds such as fragments of Chinese porcelain, necklaces from India, coins, bronze ware, shards of various vessels, and many others found on this earth and now in the museum speak of this.
There are also legends here, according to one of which the Queen of Sheba stopped in these places on the way to Solomon. According to another legend, the name Ras Al Khaimah means “the top of the tent”, where the local leader of the tribe justified the parking lot. Later, a bonfire was lit on the cape, which served as a good beacon for sailors and illuminated the way, preventing shipwrecks.
Of great interest is the inspection of watchtower conical towers that once protected the locals from enemies; houses built not of stone, but of trunks of palm trees and corals.
Ras Al Khaimah is a well-known resort area. Here is a network of hotels, and for vacationers of different income levels. Ras Al Khaimah hotels offer upscale service and excellent service, comfortable air-conditioned rooms, restaurants and pools.
