Ras Al Khaimah is one of the few places that has continuously been inhabited throughout its history, making it one of the longest-settled places in the world. To celebrate the Emirate’s history, The National Museum houses an impressive collection of archaeological and ethnological artefacts for visitors to explore.
Archaeological excavations reveal that advanced trading civilisations have existed in this region since 5000 BC. Over 1000 individual archaeological sites and antiquities are scattered around the Emirate, which is a testament to its ancient origins.
