Why Ras Al Khaimah for a Luxury Golf trip
Golf in Ras Al Khaimah is relaxed, uncrowded and played in the cooler months from October to April. Al Hamra Golf Club, a links-style course routed around saltwater lagoons on the coast, is the emirate's best-known layout, and there are other courses within a short drive. Serious golfers base themselves in Al Hamra or on Al Marjan Island, often adding a round or two at Dubai's championship courses, about an hour south.
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's northernmost emirate, set between the Arabian Gulf and the jagged Hajar Mountains. Its luxury resorts span beachfront suites, desert pool villas and mountain escapes around Jebel Jais, the country's highest peak. It brings sea, sand dunes and mountains together within a short drive, at a calmer pace than Dubai, which is roughly an hour away by road.
When to go: November to March is the best period, with warm, sunny days, cool evenings and low humidity. From June to September temperatures are extremely high, so outdoor activities are best limited to early mornings, while the mountains stay noticeably cooler year-round.
