Ras Al Khaimah Holiday Top Tips

Book your Trips in Advance

The majority of us tend to book our trips and Excursions when we are in resort, however this sometimes can lead to disappointment as some places and attractions get booked up especially in high season or public holidays. Visiting the worlds longest Zip Line on Jebel Jais mountain or the tallest building in the world, The Burj Khalifa books up closer to the time, so we strongly suggest researching and booking in advance.

Deals on Meals

The United Arab Emirates is full of every type of cuisine on the planet and so means that they all are competing for your business. On every night of the week there is a promotion like the infamous "Brunch" on a Friday. A favourite for many people are the all you can eat buffets which tend to be of a very high 5 star standard with an array of cuisines.

Medication

Having medication with you can be a problem in a few counties and in Ras Al Khaimah you need to be aware that certain medication such as codeine based medicines and some opiates that are OK in the UK, are banned in the UAE. Check online for up to date list of restricted medication in the UAE and carry an official letter from your Doctor.

Getting around is easy

Getting around in Ras Al Khaimah is very easy but not somewhere you would want to walk for too long, especially in the highs of Summer. All hotels and restaurants will call you a taxi and they are metered and generally good value. If you fancy something different when visiting Dubai then try out the Metro or water taxis.
