Halal Ras Al Khaimah Holidays

First Safe City

Ras al Khaimah is a lovely region in the UAE. It is located approximately one hour north of Dubai and its nearest neighbour is Oman. Ras Al Khaimah is extremely well suited for Travellers who love sports and action. Families with children will find plenty of activities and attractions to please everyone.

Hotels and Resorts

Muslim families should keep in mind that resorts and hotels in this area have become quite westernised regarding clothing, and many have no dress code, per se, and are not halal oriented overall. However, numerous halal restaurants can be found within walking distance of hotels, and the city generally observes an Islamic code of conduct. Most hotels and resorts in the city are situated along the shoreline and offer beautiful private beaches, which many families find enjoyable.

 

Cultural Considerations

Ras Al Khaimah is renowned for its respect and tolerance of all religions. Nevertheless, those visiting this area are expected to observe the tradition of the UAE and Islamic culture and most people who regularly holiday in this region are aware of this fact. For this reason, Muslim travellers do not typically run into distasteful situations when on holiday in this city.

Similar to hotels and resorts, there is no overly-restrictive dress code for those visiting the private beaches connected to their hotels. However, in public places within the city, women dress modestly, with their knees and shoulders covered, and therefore strolling through the streets is not problematic for Muslim visitors. In addition, when sightseeing at mosques or other religious sites, women vacationers from other areas of the world are required to observe Islamic tradition and wear loose fitting clothes and bring scarves to cover their heads.

Mosques are found on virtually every corner of the city, and therefore travelling families have no problem finding places of worship. The promotion of religious awareness is overseen in the city by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments. Both residents and visitors are expected to respect Islam and follow specific codes of conduct and etiquette during the holy month of Ramadan, when special rules are in place. This is a benefit to Muslim travellers who are searching for a getaway destination for Ramadan.

Things to do

Ras al Khaimah is home to numerous activities and attractions, including water sports such as fishing, scuba diving and sailing. Because it is surrounded by deserts and mountains, holidaymakers can also enjoy wandi bashing and mountain climbing while on holiday.

Those who plan on a few days of sightseeing should consider visiting Sheeba's Palace, which features outstanding architecture from the 16th century. A trip to the National Museum for an organised tour is another popular family activity in the area. The Museum has breathtaking exhibitions of pearls and shells from the sea, as well as historical items that were collected over the years that showcase Islam's history from its inception.

The Ice Land Waterpark, featuring over 50 rides, is a terrific attraction for adventurous visitors. Those who enjoy hiking should consider a guided tour of the Hajar Mountains, where spectacular scenery can be viewed. Shopping enthusiasts are pleased to discover that a variety of souks and malls are located within the city. Golf is quickly becoming a favourite activity in the city as well, and courses are beautifully landscaped and well-maintained.

Ras Al Khaimah is the hidden jewel of the UAE for anyone who enjoys peaceful surroundings, sunny days and exciting activities. Its long coastline of idyllic beaches and private lagoons give travellers the feeling that they are visiting an ancient paradise. Ultimately, Ras Al Khaimah is a versatile location that is perfect for any family.
