World Traveller November 2019
Ras Al Khaimah As the temperature drops across the UAE, this northernmost emirate calls intrepid travellers with its wide expanse of white-sand beaches, fascinating wildlife and majestic mountaintops. Make Jebel Jais, the country's highest peak, the jumping-off spot for your adventure. Whether it's shooting down the world's longest zip line, setting off on a challenging hike, or basking in the tranquil desert, it's a thrill-a-minute kind of place. Highlights 1 Amateur detectives will view the town of Al Jazirat Al Hamra as a mystery worth solving, with its abandoned buildings and ghostly tales. 2 Take a dip in the mineral-rich hot pools of Khatt springs and let the sulphurous waters envelop you. 3 Pay a visit to the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah, which proudly exhibits a collection of historical, ethnographical and archaeological treasures. 12 worldtravellermagazine.com
