Ras al Khaimah: the venue of the XII Dairy Olympics
The entire Emirate of Ras al Khaimah (Arab. - The top of the Tent) is home to just over 300 thousand people. The business part of the XII Dairy Olympics will be held at the al-Hamra conference center, in the capital of the Emirate of the same name - Ras al Khaimah. Just an hour's drive from Dubai airport.
A picturesque place with pristine beaches, which is rare for the Emirates , few tourists and a wide range of entertainment - only part of the reasons for visiting the Emirate in April 2020.
The region has an area of 2478 km2 and a population of 300 thousand people (2018).
The city of Ras al -Khaimah is divided into two parts by the Bay. The Western part is called Old Ras al Khaimah, and the Eastern part is called Nakheel. The ancient city on the site of modern Ras al Khaimah was called Julfar, who left Persia during the Mongol invasion. Local residents were fed by fishing, cattle breeding , and a bit of agriculture. An important source of income was the extraction of pearls, which became the main export item. A source:
In al Hamranya, in the South-East of the Emirate, there is the Haat tourist area, famous for its healing mineral waters, as well as the Masafi district. In Old Ras al Khaimah, you will find a half-ruined Fort, an ancient mosque made of coral blocks in Jazirat al Hamra, a national Museum in the Fort, Falaya Fort, and ancient watchtowers on the outskirts of the city. Near the capital, you can visit the great old city of the Emirate of Digdag , vast reservoirs among palm groves in Wadi Azima and iron age tombs in Wadi Qawr, writes tonkosti.ru/
Despite its location in the North of the country, the weather and beach season are the same as in the rest of the Emirates.
It’s nteresting to know that Ras al Khaimah claims to be one of the main tourist destinations in the UAE. The potential for this is huge, there are 50 kilometers of almost empty coast. Dozens of companies are opened in Ras al Khaimah every year. Doing business here is very profitable, because companies do not pay any taxes or duties. By the way, private individuals also do not pay taxes. As the youngest Emirate of the United Arab Emirates, Ras al Khaimah did not join the United Arab Emirates until February 10, 1972.
As in other regions of the country, the economy is based on the oil industry. In addition, there are enterprises for the production of ceramics and cement, the factory of the pharmaceutical company Julphar. However, due to the milder climate, agriculture is also developed .
Nowadays, hotels in Ras al Khaimah are famous for their clean white beaches (the sand for which was imported from the Maldives). By the way, according to many travelers , one of the main advantages of hotels in this Emirate is the price – nowhere, even in Dubai you will not get a hotel on the first coast line for this price.
Guests of the XII Dairy Olympics will have the opportunity not only to visit the unique agricultural enterprises of the UAE, but also to meet with leading analysts and company executives from the Persian Gulf, Europe, and the United States.
