Ras Alkhaimah National Museum |
![]() ![]() Perhaps the greatest insight to the archaeological wonders and the long standing history of Ras Al Khaimah can be gained by a visit to the National Museum, formerly the fort and once the residence of the Ruler of the Emirate. Located in the old town part of Ras Al Khaimah city, the Museum houses many ancient and fascinating archaeological items all of which are found in RAK. Visitors can explore the natural history room with its extensive collection of shells and other sea shore creatures, see everyday equipment, jewellery, weapons and costumes clothing items used in early Islam times, and visit the Quwasim Room, to trace the history of the British expedition against Ras Al Khaimah in 1809. |
