Get your bags, exit the arrivals hall at Ras al Khaimah Airport (RKT-Ras al Khaimah Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Ras Al Khaimah, around 12 miles from the terminal, choose something zippy and small. A compact car with nimble handling will suit those busy city streets. But with so many things to see, like the glorious sandy shores of the surrounding area, you may want to add some pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
