AL RAMS BEACH, RAK, UAE

Our first camping for year 2023. Such a magnificent place. Very clear sea and tremendous formations of rock mountains.

If you are a lover of nature, then the 1.6km Al Rams Beach and Saraya Island is the ideal location to pitch a tent and settle down for a near Robinson Crusoe experience. The pristine water is shallow and calm and perfect for peaceful watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding. You’ll need to drive a 4X4 onto the beach and island, or at least have a guide to drive you there if you are an inexperienced off-roader. The sand can be deceiving, and you’ll need to deflate the vehicle’s tyres to navigate rutted tracks.

Al Rams Beach and Saraya Island are the juxtaposition of the modern metropolis of Dubai. Its nature is breathtaking as the 70-million-year-old mountains reflect in the shallow waters of the sea. If this isn’t Instagram worthy, then nothing is. Imagine fleets of age-old pearl and fishing boats taking to the waters to gather their catch.
