Why Ras Al Khaimah for a Honeymoon trip
Ras Al Khaimah gives newlyweds two very different settings in one short trip. Begin in a desert villa with a private pool, where mornings bring falconry displays and evenings end with dinner on the dunes beneath a sky full of stars. Then move to the coast for lazy beach days on Al Marjan Island. For a shot of adrenaline, drive up Jebel Jais for the cooler mountain air, viewpoints and its long zipline.
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's northernmost emirate, set between the Arabian Gulf and the jagged Hajar Mountains. Its luxury resorts span beachfront suites, desert pool villas and mountain escapes around Jebel Jais, the country's highest peak. It brings sea, sand dunes and mountains together within a short drive, at a calmer pace than Dubai, which is roughly an hour away by road.
When to go: November to March is the best period, with warm, sunny days, cool evenings and low humidity. From June to September temperatures are extremely high, so outdoor activities are best limited to early mornings, while the mountains stay noticeably cooler year-round.
