Taking a short break to the ‘nature Emirate’ of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) just got a whole lot easier, with the launch of daily flights by Qatar Airways.

An Airbus A320 from Doha recently touched down at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. And, after just an hour’s flight, passengers from Qatar will now enjoy seamless entry into the Emirate where outdoor activities and great scenery abound.

As part of RAK Tourism Development Authority’s (RAKTDA) strategy to enhance global connectivity to the Emirate, the partnership with Qatar Airways will strengthen international travel to the destination offering greater choice, flexibility and opportunities for international travellers leveraging Qatar Airways’ expansive global network of over 160 destinations.

“This partnership marks an important step in driving Ras Al Khaimah’s continued growth as a destination of the future,” commented Raki Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority. “Qatar Airways is one of the world’s leading airlines and this partnership will play a pivotal role in raising the overall competitiveness of our tourism ecosystem as well as meet the growing demand for travel to the Emirate. We look forward to working together to drive sustainable growth, in line with our ambition to attract three million visitors annually by 2030.”

Recognised by Time magazine as one of the World’s Greatest Places of 2022 and CNN Travel’s best destinations to visit in 2023 for its stunning, unique topography and geodiversity, Ras Al Khaimah offers a myriad of authentic, diverse and inspiring experiences for every kind of traveller. From the Jais Sledder experience, in which riders hurtle through the Hajar Mountains at 40kph, to climbing, hiking, hot air ballooning and boating, RAK truly is perfect for those looking for adventure, nature, family fun and more.

Marwan Koleilat, Senior Vice President Commercial – Eastern Regions, said: “Qatar Airways’ flight resumption to Ras Al Khaimah, provides more connectivity to passengers from the UAE and beyond.
