An oasis of exquisite experiences

You won’t find any cloud-piercing, Dubai-style skyscrapers here. With world-class hotels and a host of wonderful excursions, this is a very different (and exciting) face of the UAE. Soak in desert springs, take in the view on a mountain trek, or explore ancient forts and traditional meeting points for local Bedouin tribes. Ras Al Khaimah promises a magical time for any holiday.

October to March

If you prefer things a little cooler then we have some fantastic holiday options for you between the months of October and March. Temperatures during this period are a much more pleasant 23-29°C. If this is still too much, then a December average of around 20°C may be the ideal time to visit and escape the winter blues back home.
