City & Corniche

Ras Al Khaimah city is located on the coast of the Arabian Gulf and it is divided in two sections: old Ras Al Khaimah and Nakheel which are connected by the oldest bridge in the city. Nakheel is home to all the Government Authorities, Ruler's Court, museum, markets, old souq and some shopping malls.

In Ras Al Khaimah city there are two main Corniches: the first one is the old Ras Al Khaimah corniche which is located opposite the Kuwaiti Souq. Here locals enjoy relaxing on the white beach while soaking in the sunset. The second corniche is Al Qawasim corniche, located next to the Ras Al Khaimah Bridge.

With three kilometres of green area along the blue waters of Khor Ras Al Khaimah, one can enjoy a lazy afternoon on the grass while taking in the views of the mangroves. This is also a very popular place for fitness seekers to walk or jog on the running track. Kids can ride on their bicycles or enjoy an ice-cream with their families. Visitors can also have a meal or a warm cup of tea in one of the popular waterside restaurants or cafes.
