Jumeirah Mosque is considered by many to be the most beautiful of Dubai’s mosques. An exact copy of Cairo’s Al-Azhar Mosque, which is eight times its size, the Jumeirah Mosque is a fine example of Islamic architecture. This stone structure is built in the medieval Fatimid tradition, with two minarets that display the subtle details in the stonework. It is particularly attractive in the evening when lit with floodlights. Category: Culture, Heritage Attraction, Nature Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here! For More Info Contact Us On:

The Al Fahidi Quarter (previously known, and sometimes still referred to as the Bastakia neighborhood) was built in the late 19th century to be the home of wealthy Persian merchants who dealt mainly in pearls and textiles and were lured to Dubai because of the tax-free trading and access to Dubai Creek. Al Fahidi occupies the eastern portion of Bur Dubai along the creek, and the coral and limestone buildings here, many with walls topped with wind-towers, have been excellently preserved.

About 26 kilometers southeast of Ras Al-Khaimah, Khatt Springs is an area of mineral-rich hot pools, where the water is noted for its relaxing and therapeutic properties. Khatt lies amid an oasis, backed by barren mountains. The hot-spring waters are pumped into pools (segregated by gender). The facilities are a bit tired these days, but if you just want a quick soak in the hot water to soothe tired joints from traveling, they’re still worth a stop.

This abandoned village with its slowly decaying houses of traditional coral-block architecture sits about 20 kilometers south from Ras Al-Khaimah city. Jazirat al-Hamra was fishing and pearling village that was founded in the 16th century. With the demise of the pearling industry and the beginning of the oil boom, the village’s inhabitants abandoned it in the 1960s. Due to the dry desert climate, a lot of the coral-block architecture is well preserved, so visitors can get a real sense of what traditional Emirati village life would have looked like. The village mosque has also been fully restored in recent years. Category: Culture, Heritage Attraction, Nature Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here! For More Info Contact Us On:

The Ras Al-Khaimah National Museum is in a fort that was the residence of the ruling family up until the early 1960s. The museum houses an excellent collection of archaeological and ethnological artifacts. The Qawasim Room on the first floor is particularly interesting, with a collection of documents, manuscripts, and treaties between the rulers of Ras Al-Khaimah and Great Britain. There are also exhibits of traditional weapons belonging to the ruling family, as well as archaeological displays about the earliest settlers in the area up to the late Islamic period.

This 16th-century mud-brick fort, about 20 kilometers north of Ras Al-Khaimah city, was built in a strategic hilltop position facing the gulf to defend the region from attack by the British. As a defensive military tower, the Dhayah Fort played an important role in the history of Ras Al-Khaimah. Other ruined fortifications and watchtowers can be seen to the south of the hill. A battle in 1891 between the emirate and British forces resulted in the destruction of much of the fortifications here.

Nicknamed the “garden city,” Al Ain lives up to its reputation. Throughout the city area, you’ll find parks of manicured gardens and lush green lawns, which contrast vibrantly with the dry and parched desert surroundings.Many public gardens and parks offer welcome shade on long, hot summer days. Several are endowed with weird (and slightly over-the-top) landscaping elements, impressive fountains with lighting displays at night, and playground facilities for children. The Central Public Garden in the center of town is one of the best for a stroll. Category: Leisure, Adventure, Sightseeing Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here! For More Info Contact Us On:
