Charming traditions such as camel racing, falconry and pearl fishing are still a key part of local life.
The UAE and Ras Al Khaimah in particular is well known for its folklore, folk music, folk dance and other popular art forms that reflect the social values of the community.
Al Wahabiyya displays are one of the oldest local customs, and are only performed in Ras Al Khaimah. A number of drummers, dancers and performers stand in rows, reciting poetry, and moving front and back and then bend forward, with traditional rifles and swords in the middle.
