Ras Al Khaimah, a northern region of the city, holds a vast history that dates back to the Islamic era, where it served as a significant settlement and port known as Julfar. This region has witnessed a continuous human habitation for over 7,000 years, marking it as one of the few places, not only in the country but the world, where this is still the case. It's fascinating to imagine that Ras Al Khaimah has been a hub for human interactions and activities for thousands of years.

It has always been an attractive location for settlers given its significant port and fertile land. Today, as we roam around the city, we can witness modern developments and architectural wonders, but the historical importance of this area cannot be neglected. It's remarkable to see how the city evolved over time, from a small settlement to a thriving hub of industrial and economic activities.
