Ras Al Khaimah Anniversary Escape — The Finest Five-Star Stays

For a milestone, choose a beachfront suite with a terrace over the Gulf and plan a long dinner of grilled seafood as the sun drops into the water. Spend a day on the emirate's heritage, from the hilltop Dhayah Fort to the old pearling village of Al Jazirat Al Hamra, then paddle through the mangroves by kayak. An evening in the desert with a traditional Emirati feast gives the celebration a distinctly Arabian finish.
