Ras Al Khaimah, or RAK as it’s known, is one of the most popular Northern Emirates. It attracts a lot of holidaymakers and staycationers owing to its picturesque coastline and international hotel chains. But the emirate is also a great place to live and a much more affordable alternative to Dubai. Residents love RAK best for its quaint charm.
