List of Hotels in Ras Al Khaimah

RAK hotels general information

Ras Al Khaimah doesn't have the same spectacular array of hotels that you might find in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but the Al Hamra Fort Hotel and the new RAK Hilton Resort & Spa are certainly comfortable enough for those expecting a decent standard of hotel. The RAK Hilton will also do the job but that's about it, until new hotels open up in RAK - the Acacia and the Al Hamra Palace later in 2009 ... or 2010

Ras Al Khaimah Hotels list (RAK Hotels)
