From history to hiking, a quick visit to RAK promises business travellers welcome surprises around every corner
24 Hours In... Ras Al Khaimah

There’s so much to see and do in Ras Al Khaimah, the destination is worthy of at least a week’s trip to do it justice. However, if you’re visiting for work or a business event and only have a few hours – or a day – to spare, there are plenty of attractions that promise an unforgettable experience.

In a nutshell, Ras Al Khaimah – or ‘RAK’ as it’s affectionately known by UAE nationals and expats alike – is the gateway to 7,000 years of fascinating history, Emirati culture, magnificent landscapes, pristine beaches, lush mangroves, terracotta desert, green oases and much more.

Let’s not forget the dramatic Hajar mountains featuring the country’s highest mountain peak – Jebel Jais – where adrenaline-fuelled adventures such as hiking, trekking, cycling and ziplining await.

Drop into RAK for the day and you could find yourself 1,934 metres above sea level at Jebel Jais peak. If that’s not your bag, the emirate’s cultural, leisure and dining experiences are just as thrilling. Here are our top picks for a 24-hour visit.

1 Breakfast with a view

Start your day with breakfast at Maison Mathis (mm-alhamra.com), a popular restaurant located at the Al Hamra Golf Club. Elegant yet relaxed, Maison Mathis promises a European dining experience overlooking the golf course. From eggs cooked just how you like them, to fresh bakery items, you can fuel up in anticipation of the day’s activities.
