By rail There is no railway system in Ras al Khaimah yet, however a national railway system called Etihad Rail is under development and will connect all the emirates of the UAE. By car RAK has good road connections with all the other emirates. The Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road (E311) allows reaching Umm al Quwain (UAQ) in half an hour, Sharjah in less than an hour, Dubai in 1–1½ hour (depending on the traffic) and Abu Dhabi in around 2½–3 hours. The old Coastal Road (E11) is slower but takes you directly to Sharjah via UAQ and Ajman. Fujairah can be reached via the mountain passage or via Masafi (E18) in about 1-1½ hour. An alternative to the above is the Emirates Road (E611), which runs parallel to the E311 but avoid running through the centre of Dubai: this may be quicker in some circumstances. Ras al Khaimah has a border with Oman (Musandam). It is rather easy to enter and exit the country by car. By bus RAK Bus StationThe intercity buses from Dubai and Sharjah arrive here.

Demand was decreasing, so check if the busses are available. By boat There are no passenger boat carriers operating directly to Ras al Khaimah. ## Get around For tourists, getting around with public transport or walking is rather difficult, and it would be better to go by either taxi or car. By bus In February 2026 there are four local bus lines. One from Al Nakheel to Jazeera, that covers the main road parallel to the beach. Bus O1 connects the RAK Bus Station with the Al Naheel Bus Station every 30–60min during the day. The buses are air conditioned. You can pay in cash (12 dirham) or with the Sayer Card. The Sayer card costs 30 dirham with 20 dirham balance included. With the card every ride costs 8 dirham and transfers are not included. The RAKTA buses intersect at the Al Nakheel bus station. The timetables in Google Maps are outdated. See [the RAKTA website page on buses](https://www.rakta.gov.ae/public-transport/) to get details on routes, timings and prices. Routes and timetables are also in the Sayer app of Ras al Khaimah. On the start page of the app you need to swipe to the right and then touch on "Bus routes". The app hides all bus routes on which there are no departures anymore on the same day. So if you generally want to get information about all routes, don't use the app in the last hours of the day. On foot Walking around Ras al Khaimah is not easy due to the traffic, lack of sidewalks and zebra crossings and it is something not done and not recommended. For a pleasure walk, Corniche Road and beaches are the best and safest option. By taxi Taxis are an easy option to move around the emirate. RAKTA licensed taxis use set-fare meters, are reasonable priced and safe. You can find out current charges on [the RAKTA page on taxis](https://www.rakta.gov.ae/taxi-service/). As of January 2024, RAKTA suggests using the "Careem" app for booking. If you are at a hotel, the concierge will usually be able to summon a taxi for you quickly. Dubai taxis are allowed to ferry passengers back from Dubai to RAK, and the charge to RAK City is around 250-300 AED; be aware of the different types of Dubai taxi - it is more expensive to take the "limo" type of taxi rather than a standard taxi, and you have to be careful at taxi stands that you ask for the regular cream coloured taxis for the cheapest rates. By car Car rental is easily available option. Most of the roads in Ras al Khaimah are in good condition and it is easy to find the way around (at least in the city). However, driving can be a challenging experience for those who are not used to slightly chaotic roads. International car rentals are available in most of the hotels. There are also numerous smaller local companies around the town. You should expect to pay from 150 dirham for a small car per day. Heading to Oman? A rental company that rent out cars driving into Oman is Al Salamah Cars at the main branch in Al Nakheel, 120th street. They provide all the necessary papers, like the "no-objection-letter" (extra charge), that you need to cross the border. Insurance for Oman can be bought at the border crossing.
