Hi, I have booked to go to RAK on 8th Sept till 16th Sept which I am awae of now is Ramadam (was not told by travel agent). This is not a big problem for me as I dont drink and wanted a quiet relaxing holiday anyway.

A few things I wanted to query were dress code both for me and my partner in shopping areas, on excursions, around hotel and dining areas and beach.
Also tipping, is this expected or not approved of.
We dont wish to offend people and from another forum I dont get any clear answers

We are hoping to go very shortly to the Beach resort and Spa, however, I have heard that they are building more villas at present. Has anyone been recently and can they tell me if this is further round the bay and if it will be really noisy and dusty where the finished villas and beach club are. I understand that the finished villas are superb but the holiday will be spoilt if if is exceptionally noisy
Thanks

Hi,
I am planning a trip in July + just wondering roughly how long it will take from Dubai Airport to the Al Hamra resort. We will be landing at about midnight local time.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have been to Dubai and loved it, we want to try a different part next time Ras Al Khaimah looks nice and quiet, so can anyone answer my questions? Is the beach as nice as the beach at Jumeirah Dubai? What are the resturants like? Is there less traffic? Is there shopping malls? Is it as safe? please help

Hello there,

I'm in Malaysia and most probably will be going to UAE soon. Would really appreciate if anyone could tell me any info on RAK or any members here who like to share their experiences and give me some tips on Ras Al Khaimah?

Like...
- Cost of living?
- weather?
- is the city big?
- is there any international schools there?
- are women allowed to work there?
- is it a nice place to stay?
- etc..etc..

Dear all,

does anybody know the difference between Bin Majid Beach Hotel and Bin Majid Beach Resort?
I guess the hotel is on a hill and there is a distance to the sea, but I´m not sure how long is the walk.

What´s the temperature of the sea?

Thank you for your help.
Best regards from Vienna
