Heritage
The Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah has an impressive archaeological heritage and a very rich history. This area had always enticed settlers with its unique combination of all the four types of landscapes found in different parts of the United Arab Emirates: the fertile plains, the mountainous region, coastal areas and the desert environment.
The interaction of these geographical factors and the living style of people have shaped up the very special heritage of the Emirate. Archaeological excavations and finds have proved that the history of Ras Al Khaimah dates back to the very immemorial past.

There is also the high drama of the Dune climbing events.

Golf
Legend has it, that half of the business deals in the world are agreed on a golf course. On the way those wheelers and dealers swing the odd club and knock a MaxFli A3 down the fairway towards the distant green ahead. In between bull and ball, they drive along manicured lawns in their little golfing carts from green to tee.

Every day huge numbers of visitors are taking to the fairways in Ras Al Khaimah irrespective of the summer’s heat and humidity.

The UAE boasts a number of superior golf courses, which historically centred a round Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Now Ras Al Khaimah also offers a choice of golfing experiences that are a little different from the ones you have played on before but equally as good.

The key to each course is its individual topography, which of course makes all courses unique. The way that any one course will or can be laid out is determined by the variations in elevations of the site, the nature of the ground and then where the club house might be located or the access roads.

It is incredible to think that it was not really until the early 1980s that golf was promoted to a wider audience in the UAE. Moreover, a little over 22 years later the region boasts some of the best golf courses in the world.
Ras Al Khaimah’s modern and sophisticated facilities provide a fantastic opportunity for visitors to spread their golfing wings a little further a field.
Ras Al Khaimah may still be a young upstart as a golfing destination but it is growing up fast.
