Discover Ras Al Khaimah this Ramadan.

Welcoming visitors from across the world during the Holy Month.

 

Welcome to Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE’s most unique and enticing destination that shines even brighter during the Holy Month of Ramadan. While this period is known for its profound spiritual significance, Ras Al Khaimah remains a vibrant destination for tourists, offering a unique blend of cultural immersion and holiday relaxation. Here’s why visiting Ras Al Khaimah during Ramadan is an experience not to be missed.

A feast for the senses: The Iftar experience

Ramadan in Ras Al Khaimah offers visitors the chance to experience one of the Holy Month’s greatest traditions, Iftar and Suhoor. The fast-breaking evening feast, Iftar, is a celebration in itself, with guests getting the chance to indulge in a variety of traditional dishes and delicacies across Ras Al Khaimah’s hotels. It’s a cultural experience that brings people together, reflecting the spirit of community and hospitality. Suhoor is the predawn meal Muslims have during Ramadan, consumed before the fast begins at dawn. Click here to view all Iftar and Suhoor offerings in Ras Al Khaimah this Ramadan.

All things to see and do in Ras Al Khaimah this Ramadan

Visitors to Ras Al Khaimah during the Holy Month will be able to enjoy all of the emirate’s world-class attractions as they would any other time of year. Our cafes, restaurants, hotels, and beaches are open as usual, ensuring your holiday experience is seamless and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to indulge in a leisurely beach day, savour a meal by the seaside, or enjoy the comforts and luxury of our world-class hotels, Ras Al Khaimah has you covered.

 

Freedom to dress appropriately for the occasion

Understanding the importance of comfort and personal freedom during your holiday, Ras Al Khaimah maintains a flexible dress code during Ramadan. Visitors can feel at ease wearing their usual holiday attire, including bikinis at the beach or poolside, respecting the local culture while enjoying the sun and our gorgeous beaches.

 

Adventures and attractions galore

Adventure seekers and culture enthusiasts will find no shortage of things to do in Ras Al Khaimah this Ramadan. From exploring Jebel Jais and its exhilarating attractions including the world’s longest zipline, Jais Flight, to experiencing the authenticity of Suwaidi Pearls – the region’s only Arabian pearl farm – all of our attractions remain open to visitors. Experience breathtaking thrills, marvel at the emirate’s unique natural beauty, or dive into its ancient heritage and culture —Ras Al Khaimah has activities to suit every preference this Ramadan.

Witness the firing of the Iftar cannon

Another unique tradition during Ramadan is the firing of the Iftar cannon. The cannon, fired once at sunset to signal Iftar and again during the night to mark the beginning of the next day’s fast, is a poignant reminder of the region’s rich heritage. Visitors can experience this tradition daily on Marjan Island corniche.

 

The Holy Month of Ramadan is a time of reflection, celebration, and cultural richness. It’s a period in which visitors to Ras Al Khaimah can explore our amazing Emirate, or just relax and immerse themselves in a unique cultural experience. Enjoy the warmth of our hospitality, the thrill of our attractions, and the depth of our culture. We can’t wait to welcome you to Ras Al Khaimah this Ramadan!
