Al Jazirah Al Hamra

This gem of a location is the last pearl diving village of its kind in the Arabian Gulf, and now serves as the home of a prominent arts festival- it stands as one of the most historically and culturally significant locations in the UAE and Arabian Gulf.

Located in the south of Ras Al Khaimah, the island has recently been restored to it's old-world glory, and has played host to the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival. Ongoing restoration and renovation works are focusing on the fort, and other prominent buildings and mosques.
