THE EXPERIENCE

Discover National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah

The museum combines a historic building with objects that explain trade, settlement and everyday life. Archaeological material, ceramics and traditional weapons introduce different periods of Ras Al Khaimah’s history.

Give the fort itself some attention alongside the displays. Visiting before a heritage village or hill fort helps put those outdoor sites into context, especially if you are unfamiliar with the emirate’s maritime connections.

  • Historic fort setting
  • Archaeological collections
  • Traditional-life exhibits
