Culinary

Three restaurants, one concept: serving international cuisine in an exclusive ambience. While you enjoy a varied breakfast buffet at Kaheela in the morning, Indian-inspired dishes tempt you for lunch. The Moorish spoils you with Moroccan specialties for dinner, while the Steakhouse Farmhouse serves hearty grilled dishes. The rooftop terrace with panoramic views over the desert also invites you to linger. A private dinner in the dunes promises pure romance.

Activities

The activities available at the Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah are all about the breathtaking natural scenery. Whether camel rides or demonstrations in the resort's own falconry: the fascination of the desert is omnipresent here. To observe wild animals such as dromedaries, oryx and sand gazelles, you can explore the surroundings by bike or golf cart. Guided walks also bring you closer to the special features of the desert. At the resort itself, you can relax in the Rainforest Spa or in the private pool. The fully equipped fitness center is also available for workouts. Looking for a change from desert life? Take advantage of the shuttle service to the sister hotel on the coast and enjoy a day of swimming in the Persian Gulf.
