There was a time the desert was considered as an area that nobody could survive with its rough condition except the brave UAE Bedouins. Those days Ras Al Kamiah was less known even though it owned inherent vast desert land while gifted more with white sand beach, mountain range, Mangrove ecosystems, Corals and Sulfurspringswithin the territory. However at that time due to dryness, sever climatic conditions and scarcity of water made it difficult to stay or perhaps get lost in the never ending sand stretches which hid the beauty of real Ras Al Khaimah.
