Nestled in the northernmost part of the United Arab Emirates, Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) has evolved into a premier destination that seamlessly blends natural beauty with modern conveniences and cultural richness. Just a 45-minute drive from Dubai International Airport, RAK offers a unique range of experiences that cater to diverse interests, from nature enthusiasts to adventure seekers. The recent expansion of RAK International Airport and the development of new luxury hotels and resorts highlight the emirate's commitment to accommodating an increasing number of tourists.
RAK's designation as a preferred destination is further supported by its focus on sustainable tourism and a growing array of attractions. The emirate’s hospitality sector has flourished, featuring high-end resorts like the Waldorf Astoria alongside boutique hotels and eco-friendly lodges, and offering world-class dining and entertainment options. RAK's vibrant cultural festivals, traditional markets, and modern shopping complexes, such as the RAK Mall and the Al Hamra International Tennis Complex, enhance its appeal.
Nature lovers will find the dramatic landscapes of Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak, particularly captivating, offering activities from ziplining to hiking, while the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters are perfect for water sports and relaxation. The Al Wadi Nature Reserve provides a tranquil setting for wildlife observation and nature walks. Additionally, RAK is emerging as a notable hub for education and real estate, with institutions like RAK Medical and Health Sciences University and the American University of Ras Al Khaimah contributing to its reputation as a center for higher education. The real estate market in RAK is expanding, offering relatively affordable property prices compared to Dubai and Sharjah, with developments such as Al Hamra Village and Mina Al Arab providing luxurious living options that appeal to investors and expatriates seeking a balanced lifestyle amidst natural surroundings.
During a trip to Ras Al Khaimah, researching history for my next book, I was rushed into hospital after experiencing several syncope events in a short space of time. I knew I suffered from bradycardia. I fainted as I arrived in the ER and Dr. Ahmad Al Abrass diagnosed me with Complete Heart Block. He determined that I needed a temporary pacemaker immediately. Within 30 minutes he had me in the CATH-lab and the procedure was started.
Being away from home and loved ones, it is naturally very scary, but all the staff at RAK hospital provided me with enough support and warmth, it made me feel like I was very close to home. I highly recommend RAK hospital.

I was operated on by Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Nilesha mid June. They both made me feel very reassured and at ease about the procedure. The atmosphere in the operating theatre was very friendly and I felt I was being treated by a confident and an extremely professional team. I also received the best aftercare possible with both doctors regularly checking on me and adjusting medication to make me feel comfortable. I must mention the nurses Jasintha, Tantu and Jalu who stayed after their shift had ended to make sure I was settled after the surgery. Those caring and dedicated ladies made difficult moments more bearable. Thank you.
The doctor was very nice and concerned about my condition. She was also very concerned about my physical condition after the operation. It was my first time to have an operation. I was actually worried and scared, but the doctor calmed my emotions and made me feel at ease.
After being told I needed a hip replacement, I underwent the procedure at another hospital, but it didn’t go well. I suffered from immense pain and a swollen leg for a week post-operation. That’s when my wife reached out to RAK Hospital, and I was referred to Dr. Feras. He not only diagnosed the issue but also ensured the implant was properly cemented. Despite facing an infection during recovery, Dr. Feras took excellent care of me, and now, I feel much better. I highly recommend RAK Hospital to anyone facing health problems, no matter where you are in the Emirates.
I would like to say a very big thank you to Dr. Nilesha for your genuine love for your patients. It’s truly remarkable. Even when I didn’t have family and friends around, you were able to talk to me and calm me down, preparing me for the operation and helping me see it as a simple procedure, which really aided my post-operative recovery.
I also want to extend my gratitude to the entire ICU staff and everyone in the RAK hospital. Thank you all!
My experience with RAK Hospital and Dr. Nilesha has been absolutely satisfactory from the first appointment to my surgery. I remember leaving Dr. Nilesha’s office the first time with confidence for my treatment and procedure. Dr. Nilesha has been exceptionally diligent and very capable in her care, communication and practice, and the staff too were truly commendable!
We are extremely happy to share a heartfelt testimonial from Mr. Falko Haller, who underwent a Total Hip Replacement performed by Dr. Feras Noury, our Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon. Thank you, Mr. Falko, for choosing RAK Hospital for your health journey! Wishing you good health and happiness!
