Tour enthusiasts who choose Ras al-Khaimah for their recreation have an opportunity to visit a lot of interesting natural and historical attractions. On the territory of the emirate, there is the Canyon of Hadzharsky Mountains that resembles a huge oasis surrounded by desert landscapes. In the canyon, stones that are subsequently used for the modern building construction in the most popular UAE resort areas are extracted. The canyon attracts travelers with a diversity of its plants. When walking here, you can see a lot of rare animals, birds and insects.
No doubt, the most visited cultural center is the Ras Al Khaimah Museum located in the incomparably beautiful Fort Al Husen . The fort was built in the 18th century and remained a permanent residence of the royal family till 1964. In 1987, under Sheikh Saqr bin Moḥammad Al Qasimi, the historical construction started being used as a large museum. Nowadays, a rich collection of archaeological finds and ethnological exhibits is kept in the fort. Visitors of the museum can see ancient manuscripts, unique historical documents, collections of old weapons and archeologists’ finds that were found directly on the territory of the emirate.
