Small museum but worth visiting with kids for learning purpose. Staff was very courtesy to guide us properly.

Nice one. Short and sweet. Good hospitality.

Experience the history of Ras Al Khaima. Entrance is just 5AED. There are several parts, such archeology, Majlis, windtower and garden in the fort. Always nice to learn more about local culture. On Fridays it opens from 2pm.

Nice museum to explore and learn about Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

This is a small museum, you can combine with other places with RAK for a weekend trip. You normally spend an hour here. Good for kids to know the history.

Good knowledgeable experience… kids love it understand various facts about historical details of UAE… five most of the feelings how people live in old age with models of their houses, rooms, doors, windows etcMany historical household utensils, jewelry, currencies, sitting arrangements take you there… nice experience.Adult Tickets AED 5Child tickets AED 2Kids under 5 are free

Staff is very polite.Museum management is trying the best to maintain it.New section is also under development.Place also give you lot of information on ancient history of RAK.

Excellent exhibition. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth a detour

Its under renovation. But still open for public. Good to visit and know the history for the land and its progress

Nothing much to do....not maintained properly...

This national museum of Ras Al Khaimah is built on traditional fort architecture with a large central courtyard and buildings on all four sides housing the exhibits.If its quiet, it can be quite leisurely and relaxing to stroll through the few buildings that you can enter and view various items on display from ancient to old to modern. Like many other museums in the UAE, theres not heaps on display but if you are interested in old artifacts theres a few to be seen here.Theres free parking out the front and a small fee to enter.

Small museum, at the venue of an old fortress, giving a good idea how people used to live in these places.Made out of traditional limestone, fossilized sand and corals (materials with no particular good structural but excellent insulation properties), it used to be a defense fort, the residence of the ruling Quwasim family and police headquarters before being turned into a museum in 1987.In Aug 2021 significant parts of the museum were under renovation.You can tour it in half an hour.Entrance fee: 5 AED.

A small museum in Ras Al Khaimah. The expansion works on the museum is still under progress when i visited. Learned few stuffs about arabic culture. Visit this place only if you nearby and enough time left in your journey. Its not worth to travel exclusively to visit this place.

We visited the museum yesterday, the whole visit took us 30-40 mins, nice and clean, and you can see tools used long time ago... entrance ticket is just 5aed/ person

Its a beautiful and quiet museum. At one point, I was the only guy inside the museum and some staff. I spent 2.5 hours there but its not enough. Theres so much to explore. I climbed to the top of the museum and it offered a stunning view. Staff is very friendly.Tip: They give you Arabic coffee to try - you can have as much as you want.

Nice arciolagical and old palace place

I always like to visit museums and historical places when i visit a new destination. I appreciate seeing things like this. Museum on ras al kaihmah is just located in the city. I stayed in hudaiba area, its 16aed by taxi. Upon reaching there, they have a waiting area, during this pandemic they ensure all safety measures are observed. The place is peaceful.

Very calm and beautiful museum.. Lot of old age things displayed... Recomended

Very good place to visit and know about Julphar(Ras-al-kaimah)

Its gives an ancient vibe and how the Arabs of rak lived in past.

What a waste of time, such a disappointing experience. The fort is still being modernised which defeats the object of admiring an old fort. Exhibits are few and far between, most rooms are empty, I would recommend NOT going until at least 2021 as so much work needs doing to this museum ( certainly a lot of poetic license used to call this place a museum !! )5 Dirhams to get in and an hour drive from Dubai..... the pictures shown virtually show everything you will see here, even the obscure Arabian manikins at the entrance.One to miss in my opinion !!

Great little museum - worth the visit. Lots to see - make sure you go into each of the rooms off the courtyard even though the doors are closed. I really enjoyed the room about the historic fishing of the area.

A really nice small little museum that has been established inside an old fort. The museum gives you an great insight in to the histroy of RAK starting from as back as 5000 BC. The best part is that despite being in a very old building, the musuem is 100% accesible with ramps for all stairs as well as to go on the second floor. A few areas of the musuem are still under development yet there is plenty to see.The rooftop view is oretty nice and you can get a nice burds eye view of RAK.The staff is very nice, courteous, and very helpful. The tour is ended with a complimentary Arabian coffee.Parking is plenty and very convenient. The Google Maps however keeps on sending you in loops so just look at the map once and make sense as to where the entrance is.

Very good place Very clean and Excellent View of vallys.

The Ras Al-Khaimah National Museum is in a fort that was the residence of the ruling family up until the early 1960s.The museum houses an excellent collection of archaeological and ethnological artifacts.The Qawasim Room on the first floor is particularly interesting, with a collection of documents, manuscripts, and treaties between the rulers of Ras Al-Khaimah and Great Britain.There are also exhibits of traditional weapons belonging to the ruling family, as well as archaeological displays about the earliest settlers in the area up to the late Islamic period.The museums ethnographic section introduces traditional life in the emirate, including architecture, pearl diving, date growing, farming, and fishing.To learn more about the region, the Private Full-Day Tour of Ras Al-Khaimah delves into its cultural and historical sights, as well as showcasing its scenic coastal scenery, with plenty of photo stops along the most scenic parts of the Corniche and at the marina along the way. Major included sights are the museum, Dhayah Fort, and Jazirat al-Hamra. All transport including pickup and drop-off from Ras Al-Khaimah hotels is included.

Good small museum. Very interesting art exhibition but it was last day for it. We got lucky. Recommend. 5 AED ticket.

Archeological Site and good collection of ages old articles.

All in one place,beautiful collection of rich heritage and shows the struggle emirate people had gone through before oil era.Details of stone era to post oil era is preserved .

Our favorite museum in UAE. A great many artifacts in addition to the traditional room settings...one of the unique aspects is the use of mannequins in traditional dress. The date room is also very interesting to see how molasses is made. Definitely worth a return trip.

Very good museum. Shows a lot about RAK culture. Well organized.

An interesting museum, worth a visit. Nice exploring the building as well as the exhibits

Beautiful place

Locating the Museum was difficult I almost lost hope of visiting 😑 I think it needs to be updated or so. Its very Ancient style and I like although I couldnt go in because of the EID celebration so it was closed but outside looked good still. So dont go on EID holidays.

Immediately after entering you will feel that this museum has been lovingly designed and that people really enjoy working here. I received a very friendly welcome from the staff. Shameem offered me Arabic coffee to strengthen me and I was able to rest in the Majlis. (I came from Nakheel on foot at lunchtime.) He also explained the exhibition to me in great detail and gave me information material. The place is great. You feel the spirit of the old days here. I found the exhibition on dates very interesting. I was also very impressed by the wind towers. Basically, it becomes very clear here how clever the Arabs have been from the earliest times. What impresses me most in the Arab world is that everything has a system and is intelligently thought out. Thank you very much for the hospitality and the patience with which all my questions were answered. I spent a wonderful afternoon here.

Under going a lot of renovation at the time but I enjoyed what they had on show. Very helpful staff.

One of the oldest and rare collection in UAE.

As a place it’s really nice, beautiful and tidy, and the government is taking care of it will, if you are that guy who loves archaeological things this is not the correct place for you, but if you love antiques, this is a wonderful place to visit and highly recommended for sure.

Really nice museum. Not very extensive but it has a good historical overview of the area. Definitely worth the time.

Nice quite place

5 Dirhams entry fee for each adult. The start of the museum may not seem much, but keep walking. There is a courtyard in the middle of the building containing the exhibits. There are 2 levels. The first level of exhibits will show many specimens: shells, sponges and other creatures collected from the sea around UAE, as well as the boats and fishing/diving equipment used by the old fishermen of this country. On the second level, you will see empty rooms of the old Emirati traditional house: the material it is made of, the size of the rooms, the structure and architecture. There are steps going up, to the top of the whole museum, where from an elevated hut (like a short tower), you will be able to see a lot of Ras Al Khaimah, the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. A very nice place to visit and learn about Emirati history, for a small price. Toilets are also available in the museum.

Great info and building. 5 dirhams to get in.

For 5 dirhams entrance fee, you get to see the history of Ras Al Khaima and have an overview of the life in the past. Discovering how they have lived the life before made us appreciate the life we have now. The museum is not that big but its worth a visit. You can find antequities, ancient vases, fishing and hunting tools and many more. Bring your kids so they become exposed to our ancient history!

I really like this place, history of UAE and RAK was there in very good environment, airconditioning was super in all rooms, you can take rest there clean sofas are available, staff was super friendly specially a boy on reception, I will visit again for sure.

Bit difficult to find.. image on google different from what i saw though.. maybe more than one in RAK.. it was closed for EiD though

Very informative guys all the archialogistic things are there very old n original pieces there

Great little gem of a museum. Loads to see and look at

If family ticket are only 15aed adult 15 kids 10 only

Informative of the place and history.

Once serving as the residence of the ruling family, the Ras Al Khaimah National Museum is one of the best spots in RAK.The exhibits in the 19th-century fort range from the Neolithic era up to the Islamic age, displaying various weapons and manuscripts. There are also some treaties signed between the RAK rulers and Great Britain.Late Fort was originally constructed from coral stone, a fossil building material originating from the sea. Although being fairly light-weight it possesses excellent insulation qualities, keeping buildings cool in summer and warm in winter.

Need to put more attractions and antiques

You will love this place if you like History.

It is well known from historical sources an Early Fort existed inside Ras Al Khaimah Old Town in close proximity to the Mohammed bin Salim Mosque. The ancient documents and letters inform us that it was at least destroyed twice, in 1621 by the Portuguese and in 1820 by the British

Friendly staff, well maintained galleries, and clean surroundings. Variety of artifact displays can be improved. Also, i have to mention that love the watch tower the most!

Good to visit

Friendly staff, nice artifacts from the region

This you can see about the history and the way of living from before

Super great

Very nice..Kids loved uae history

Lovely place to visit...

Do you know what happens when you leave a child in a candy store? The same goes with this museum for an archaeologist. The history that goes back 5,000 to 6,000 years, the bones, the tools, the jewellery made from simple items that we take for granted. The museum also gives its visitors an inside view on how the Ruler of the Emirate lived, since it also was used as a meeting room where the ruler met the people. Two to three hours will be sufficient to enjoy this museum.

Always good to know the history of a place

A quiet little place. Few archeological displays, some local culture and a spiritual tolerance display. Thats about all. Most of the area is being improved.Accessibility is not easy. Not visible as a prominent place.

Fantastic location and great insight into Emirati history. The museum at RAK was a very enriching experience which showcases the richness of Emirati history and its culture. They have rare artefacts from thousands of years ago. Its a very well maintained facility and easy to find in the city. Its a must visit if you are in the city. Great Experience and the people managing the facility were very polite and helpful.

V good

Very interesting and informative

Well spaced out and explains historical facts very well.

Good for a one timer. Nothing extensive but if you got some time to cut. Might wanna check this out.Most of the area are going under rennovation and stuff for now as well.

Really interesting exhibits and the old Palace it is housed in is also interesting. Views from the lookout towers to the see and across the city

I have not visited many museums before but compared to what I have seen, this is a well put together, outside had the letter L is Al falling off, but the inside is well organized and well explained. I have always been a history lover and I love the history of the UAE ... the museum shows u how they survived on fishing and pearl finding for ages before oil became a thing. It’s is a rich museum with artifacts and pictures accompanied with explanations and a lot of fun facts.. very family friendly and educative

A Simple and unique Museum with ancient Arabic architecture.... Loved the ambiance.... Not much exhibits but we learn how rich is the history of this great nation.... You can spend 2-3 Hours in the museum if you are on a leisure day.... Not much crowded also.... Dont Miss out the Wind Tower....

Good for children to know about the history of U.A.E

Itz shows the culture of RAK

Very Nice and clean.

Must visit recommended for everyone

Most of it was under construction when I went so couldnt get to see alot.

Because of how developed Ras Al Khaimah is thanks to the hard work done by the government of Ras Al Khaimah it is so very easy to forget the humble beginnings of this beautiful emirate. Learn about how life was all those years ago. It is not a big museum but is definitely worth the visit!

...Arabian historic place

Nature is wealth. Credits to the Emirates for wonderful conservation of Ecotourism in desert region of RAK.

Ticket is 5 bucks, cash only, not much too see.

Full happy
