If you are thinking about creating content in Ras Al Khaimah, this is a good place to start.
We work with influencers, filmmakers, photographers, vloggers, and social-first creators across a range of campaigns and events. Every collaboration is different, but the aim is the same: to tell useful, original stories about the destination for the right audience.
Before you send a request, take a few minutes to get to know Ras Al Khaimah and how we approach partnerships. A strong proposal is about more than a follower count or a travel date. It shows us what you create, who you reach, and why your idea makes sense here.

About Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE’s northernmost emirate. It is a place where a beach morning, a desert afternoon, and a mountain sunset can all fit into the same trip.
There is plenty of history behind the landscape. Ras Al Khaimah has more than 7,000 years of heritage, with forts, archaeological sites, date farms, old fishing settlements, and a long pearling tradition. Creators interested in culture can spend time at Dhayah Fort, explore Al Jazeera Al Hamra, or learn about the story of Gulf pearls at Suwaidi Pearl Farm.
The natural setting is just as varied. Along the coast are beaches, lagoons, and mangroves. Inland, the landscape opens into terracotta desert and wadis. In the north, the Hajar Mountains rise toward Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak. It is a useful destination for creators because the locations do not all look the same, and they are close enough to combine in one itinerary.
There is no single Ras Al Khaimah experience to document. You might film a mountain drive, hike a marked trail, take on Jais Flight, paddle through mangroves, visit a heritage site, or spend a day at the beach. The same applies to stays. The emirate has beach resorts, desert retreats, mountain camps, villas, and city hotels, so it is worth looking through the full range of accommodation options before you pitch an itinerary.
Where Is Ras Al Khaimah, and How Do You Get Here?
Ras Al Khaimah is in the north of the UAE, within easy reach of Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi by road. Dubai International Airport is around 45 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah, while Ras Al Khaimah International Airport is around 20 minutes away from RAK City. Actual journey times will depend on your hotel and the time of day.
For most international visitors, flying into Dubai and arranging a road transfer is the simplest option. There are also bus services from Dubai, taxis, and car-rental options. Our travel information guide has the practical details for planning your route.
What You Can Create in Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah works well for travel stories because it has range without needing to be overplanned. A family creator may focus on easy outdoor experiences, hotels, beaches, and school-holiday ideas. A food creator may build a story around local flavors, hotel dining, seafood, or a particular neighborhood. Adventure, wellness, luxury, culture, road trips, and slower nature-focused content all have a place here too.
The best work is usually specific. Rather than trying to cover the whole emirate in one reel or one post, choose an angle that suits your audience and your usual style of storytelling. A clear idea is easier for us to assess and easier for your audience to understand.
How We Work With Influencers
Influencers help us put the destination in front of people who already trust their recommendations. That could mean a family planning a UAE weekend away, a couple looking for a different kind of beach break, or travelers who want more from a visit than a hotel review.
We work across a year-round calendar of destination campaigns, seasonal stories, launches, and events. Some partnerships are built around a particular brief. Others begin with a creator’s own travel idea. When we host an event, we also look for talent who can add something relevant to the occasion and share it with an audience that is likely to care.
There is no fixed template for a partnership. The right format, subject, timing, and deliverables depend on the campaign and the person behind the account. What matters is that there is a genuine fit between your audience, your content, and Ras Al Khaimah.
We are also interested in relationships that go beyond one visit. A first collaboration can be a useful introduction, but we value creators who can return with fresh ideas as the destination changes through the year. That might be a new angle on the mountains, a different season on the coast, or an event that makes sense for your community.
How We Work With Content Creators
Not every partnership is about an influencer campaign. We also work with people who make strong visual work, whether that is long-form YouTube, travel vlogs, short-form videos, TikToks, photography, or another format with a clear point of view.
If you are a filmmaker, we want to see how you build a story. If you are a photographer, show us the kind of places, people, and details you notice. If you make short-form social content, help us understand what makes your videos land with your audience. The platform matters, but the quality and relevance of the work matter more.
A good creative brief starts with an idea that is useful for both sides. It could be a cinematic desert-to-mountain film, a practical guide for a particular kind of traveler, a series of still images built around heritage, or a short-form story that makes a lesser-known part of the emirate feel accessible. The work should feel like you, while still giving people a reason to consider Ras Al Khaimah.
What to Know Before You Send a Request
Reach Out Early
Please contact us at least eight weeks before your proposed travel date. This gives the team time to consider the idea, check what is happening in the destination, and see whether there is a relevant campaign, event, or opportunity to explore.
A request for travel next week is unlikely to be possible. This is especially true during busy periods, major events, and school holidays.
Show Us Your Work
Include links to recent examples that are relevant to the work you are proposing. A media kit can be useful, but it should not replace the content itself. We want to see your videos, photography, articles, or posts, as well as a clear picture of who follows you and where they engage with your work.
If you have worked with a destination, hotel, airline, tourism brand, or event before, share one or two examples. It helps us understand your approach and the kind of results you can deliver.
Explain Why Ras Al Khaimah Matters for Your Audience
Tell us what you want to create and why. A short, well-considered concept is more useful than a broad request to “collaborate.” Include the locations or experiences you are interested in, the platforms you plan to use, and the audience you hope to reach.
You do not need to have every shot planned. You do need to show that you have thought about the story.
Be Clear About Your Dates and Your Team
Share your preferred travel window, how flexible those dates are, who will be traveling, and whether you are working with a videographer, photographer, manager, or production team. This makes it easier to assess what may be possible.
Treat the Form Like a Professional Proposal
A simple message asking for a complimentary one-week stay because you are celebrating a birthday next week will not give us enough to work with. We need to understand the value of the idea, the quality of the content, and whether it is right for the destination.
Take the time to complete the form properly. Requests that are clear, relevant, and supported by examples are much easier to review.
A Request Is Not a Confirmation
Submitting the form does not confirm a hosted visit or a collaboration. The team reviews requests against current priorities, timing, available opportunities, and the overall fit for the destination brand. If there is a suitable opportunity, we will be in touch.
