Ras Al Khaimah Weather in Christmas

In contrast to the colder weather that is the main thing associated with Christmas temperatures, December in Ras Al Khaimah is more mild and pleasant, a new experience that combines a new start with new emotions.

The emirate offers average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), which is a perfect condition for enjoying outdoor activities. While this can seem something new for the tourists, the residents can also benefit from the weather by engaging in the festive events nearby, including Christmas markets, open-air shows, and beachside bondings.

The weather in Ras Al Khaimah is perfect from all perspectives, which means the evenings during December can be a little chilly. This is a great factor if you want to get refreshed along with Corniche or dine al fresco at the nearby restaurants and cafes.

Desert Adventures

In addition to ordinary Christmas celebrations, the emirate Ras Al Khaimah offers expansive desert scenery, where you can have a memorable safari ride or hang out with your trip partners in the tranquil and enchanting embrace of the emirate.

Speaking of a desert safari, the festive season is no exception in trying out something new since at the end of the day, the memories are what we end up with, no? In this context, the festive safari is a part of the many other experiences that manage to impress each of the emirate guests, and the residents as well.

It is a scenery out of the movie, that we always see on the screens and doubt in its reality. The ethereal sight of the golden desert embraces your presence like a warm hug and gives you a magical feeling that enhances the essence of the holiday spirit on another level. A level that is desired by everyone looking for new ways of celebrating their all-time favorite Christmas.

Desert Excursions On Christmas

In many cases, to embrace the experience of the holiday atmosphere, many excursions end up with gatherings around bonfires, bonding, and trying out traditional Arabic delicacies. Not so typical of Christmas, eh?

It is though, here’s why. Christmas is all about gatherings, sharing stories, meeting old friends and relatives, or just spending more delicate time with the close ones. In the end, we are gathered to embrace the coming of the New Year, in other words: the fresh start. To summarize, Christmas is all about bonding and eating.

The Emirate version of this holiday celebration is a breakthrough from the ordinary Christmas celebrations, which while remaining our beloved timing, sometimes need to be a little bit spiced up.

In Conclusion

Christmas is the time of the year when everyone believes in some sort of miracle, be it the deepest wish or just the festive atmosphere doing its magic. Festive garlands and lights, Christmas-themed songs, delicious drinks and meals, everything is magical about this holiday, even the environment and the people surrounding us during these days.

And to make it even more magical, the Emirate RAK offers thousands of possibilities that are ensured to make your stay pleasing and memorable.

Moreover, the safari excursions into the desert provide a distinctive fusion of holiday cheer and cultural richness for those looking for a genuinely non-traditional celebration. A picture of Christmas that transcends the ordinary is created by the gentle glow of the setting sun on the dunes and traditional Arabic entertainment held beneath the stars.

And with that, Ras Al Khaimah embraces Christmas with open arms, making your stay a pleasurable experience with a hint of a fresh and magical start.
