Literally translated, Ras Al Khaimah means “Top of the Tent“. The name of the seventh emirate in the United Arab Emirates describes its unique location: surrounded by three emirates, between the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Gulf. This picturesque setting is spectacular from any perspective but especially from a bird’s eye view.
