Why this trip
Mountains, desert and sea lie so close together in Ras Al Khaimah that families can switch between beach and sand dunes in one day. The northernmost of the emirates is quieter than Dubai and easy for children to take in. A desert safari by jeep is an experience for children in which you should pay attention to seat belts and sun protection. At Jebel Jais the Viewing Deck Park invites a visit at which children enjoy the view and cooler air.
In Flipped Park and Saqr Park children find play areas, and Suwaidi Pearls shows the history of pearl fishing. Bassata Village takes you to a village where craft and nature come together. The accommodation includes the Waldorf Astoria, the InterContinental Mina Al Arab and the Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra Beach. The country data name November to April as the best travel time, when it is not too hot.
With a flight of about 6 to 6.5 hours, the journey with children is quite doable. Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi lie as neighbours in the Emirates, in case you want to plan an excursion to the cities.
