Ras Al-Khaimah means top of the tent in Arabic and is one of the 7 Emirates that comprise the UAE. Some say it’s more authentic than the glitz, glamour and sheer bling of Dubai
Is Ras Al-Khaimah (RAK), more than just sun, sand and all inclusive resorts ?
What can a family on summer holidays do in this emirate of the UAE ? – Let’s find out!
We’ll be flying direct with Royal Brunai Airlines
Staying half board at DoubleTree by Hilton Ras Al-Khaimah
The DoubleTree by Hilton brand and team, commit to CARE, – Creating a rewarding experience, for all guests!
We’ve booked a car rental via Thrifty (Dubai) and we’ll be using a Google Maps to navigate and explore the surrounding areas and emirates.
We will be holidaying for 3 weeks, so plan to do full independent family blogs and reviews of:
- Royal Brunai (Boeing 787) flights, check-in, comfort, in flight food, movies and service.
- Thrifty car rental and driving in RAK and surrounding emirates, including Dubai
- Doubletree by Hilton Ras Al Khaimah, Comfort, Services, Buffet and Facilities.
- DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island resort facilities, swimming pools, service and beach
- Exciting things to do for a family with a car rental on summer holidays in Ras Al-Khaimah and surrounding emirates.
Trip review will be published as a comprehensive blog series with photos very soon, ………. Watch this space!
“…and all around is the desert, a place without expectation, time to reflect and nourish the wisdom of the soul “
Look forward to the review, always thought that Ras Al-K is worth a punt, watch-out

Good luck, half board drinks/water expensive at Hilton RAK

It’s 15 Dirhams plus tax for a 1.5L water bottle, more than enough for a family of 4 at dinner,.so reasonable value and way cheaper than going all inclusive (we stayed half board, breakfast/dinner)
