The Desert

Topic Progress:

Ras Al Khaimah is home to some of the best desert in the country. Here the sand is a beautiful, sunset-orange colour and is ripe for exploration.

One of the most exhilarating ways for visitors to enjoy the landscape is dune bashing in a 4×4. A desert safari typically involves a hair-raising desert drive and includes activities like sandboarding, followed by an Arabic buffet at an atmospheric Bedouin-inspired venue: Bassata Desert Village or Bedouin Oasis Desert Camp.

Visitors can also head to The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert, situated in an incredible nature reserve. Activities here include traditional sports like shooting and falconry, while Al Wadi Equestrian and Adventure Centre offers tours of the desert on horseback.
