Hotels near Old Town

Ras Al Khaimah's Old Town, known locally as Al Balad Al Qadima, offers a captivating journey into the emirate's rich past. Situated on the western side of the city, this historic heart is where traditional charm meets everyday life. Visitors can explore the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah, housed within a magnificent 16th-century fort that once served as the residence for the ruling Al Qawasim family. The museum itself is a treasure trove, displaying archaeological artifacts that span over 7,000 years of continuous human habitation, from ancient pottery to items reflecting early Islamic trade. Beyond the museum, the Old Town invites strolls through its narrow lanes, revealing traditional coral-stone architecture and glimpses of local life. The area is also home to historic mosques, and while specific souks may evolve, the spirit of traditional markets and a slower pace of life persist, offering an authentic cultural experience distinct from more modern urban landscapes.
