RAS Al-Khaimah is a great – and cheaper – alternative to Dubai.
We found deals to the UAE's northernmost emirate from £621pp next year – working out at £88pp a night.
UAE's second biggest city is known for its endless miles of terracotta-coloured coastline, desert and year-round warm weather.
Ras Al-Khaimah, usually referred to as "RAK,"is a smaller substitute for its neighbour Dubai.
The city is great for any kind of holiday, whether you want to relax by the beach, take in the local culture, unwind with the family or experience the longest zip-line in the world.
Shopping lovers won't be short on options either, as you'll find plenty of stores to explore, selling anything from well-known fashion brands to local hidden gems.
