The culture follows the Islamic traditions and at same

and life styles. The true perspective of the Arab culture
is revealed through generous welcome and gracious manners.
Ras Al Khaimah is the most scenic and varied of the
seven Emirates. Within its territory it combines the
coast, the fertile agricultural plains, the desert and
the mountains. Each of these environments has given
rise to different lifestyles: the traders, fishermen
and pearl divers of the coast. The date-palm farmers
of the plains, the Bedouin of the desert and the Shihuh
and Habus tribes of the mountains. All of these groups
have interacted throughout history to make up the rich
and complex society that modern Ras Al Khaimah is. Local
people have also embraced some of the customs and traditions
brought into the country by expatriates from all across
the world.
Sports
Ras Al Khaimah is an excellent location for all types
of sports. This includes Tennis, Squash, Swimming, Diving,
Water Skiing, Sailing, Four-wheel drive dune trips and
