UAE MAPS -RAS AL-KHAIMAH
Ras al-Khaimah is the west coast's most northerly emirate. It extends for a distance of about 64 kilometres along the coastline and for more than 128 kilometres inland. Its mountainous borders are shared with the Sultanate of Oman. The area of the emirate is 168 square kilometres, which is equivalent to 2.2 per cent of the countrys total area, excluding islands. The city of Ras al-Khaimah is divided into two parts by an inlet known as Khor Ras al-Khaimah. The western part of the city is called the Old Ras al-Khaimah and comprises Ras al-Khaimah National Museum and a number of the government departments. The eastern part, known as Al-Nakheel, houses the Rulers office, several government departments and commercial companies. The two sections are connected via a large bridge built across the khor and a road that circles the creek.
