A Shopper's Paradise: The Many Malls and Markets of RAK

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a sought-after tourist destination the world over, for a number of reasons. The country's seaside location, beautiful desert landscape and dramatic mountain scenes are enough to charm anyone. But people don't just come for the scenery. They come for the world-class dining, the exciting attractions, the luxurious accommodations, and the first-class shopping.

From malls, to boutiques, to out-of-the-way shops, shopping is a delightful experience in the UAE. Nowhere is this more true than in the emirate Ras Al Khaima (RAK). This tranquil and friendly emirate is a rapidly expanding tourist destination. Under the support and guidance of Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, RAK offers a wealth of shopping opportunities, from high-end stores, to local markets, to one-of-a-kind shops perfect for collecting treasures.

For locals and visitors looking for contemporary shopping with modern amenities, RAK has several large, upscale malls featuring local and international department stores, as well as entertainment and casual and sit-down dining. RAK's namesake shopping center, Rak Mall, is a beautiful shopping center that spans 700,000 square feet and offers food courts, coffee shops, restaurants and even an ice skating rink.

The Manar Mall, arguably RAK's most famous and most popular mall, is ideal for shopping, relaxation and family fun. This mall features a stunning and picturesque setting, with windows that allow people to watch the sun set over the ocean as they shop. It also features a movie theater, a Hypermarket, a kid's fun center and all of the accessories, clothing and electronics one could want. It’s a perfect destination for savvy shoppers, whether they’re from Minnesota or Paris.
