Tour description
Ras Al Khaimah is the most traditional and scenic of the northern Emirates, a historic town set on a creek between the mountains and the sea, with a rich pearling and trading past. Quieter and more heritage-rich than its glitzy neighbours, it rewards the curious explorer. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history.\n\nYou will visit the old fort that houses the national museum, wander the historic old town, and hear about the pearling era and the Qawasim rulers. Along the way you will discover the traditions of the northern Emirates. Traditional and scenic, Ras Al Khaimah is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
