More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slide into an air-conditioned 7‑seater as Dubai’s glass skyline thins behind you and the road unfurls toward the Hajar foothills. The highway hums; palms and low desert scrub race past while the driver keeps a steady, practiced pace. In about two hours the coastline and the low mountains of Ras Al Khaimah come into view—rockier, older and quieter than Dubai’s engineered glamour.
