Where is Ras Al Khaimah?
Ras Al Khaimah is the fourth largest Emirate out of seven Emirates of United Arab Emirates. Ras Al Khaimah has earned its reputation as a pre-eminent commercial centre with an innovative, dynamic and entrepreneurial business culture. Strategically located at the crossroads of trade and commerce between East and West, it is ideally positioned to service and access markets that span the Middle East, North and Southern Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and the Confederation of Independent States. Moreover, it occupies a time zone that allows it to connect markets like the Far East and the US. To leverage this advantage, it is developing a world-class infrastructure, air and port facilities, making it the most well-connected hub in the region.
One of the seven emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates, Ras Al Khaimah is located at the northern end of the Arabian Gulf coast. The emirate is hardly 45 minutes drive from Dubai International Airport. Straddled by the Hajjar Mountains on the East and the Arabian Gulf on the West, Ras Al Khaimah shares a mountainous border with the Sultanate of Oman. The emirate has a population of approximately 250,000.
