On your last day, make sure to rise early and check out from the hotel, and take a transfer to Tower Links, the emirate’s premier golf course. Here, you can take a hot air balloon flight over the Ras Al Khaimah desert – a truly magical experience that will leave you in awe.
After your flight, refuel with a sumptuous buffet breakfast. As your unforgettable journey comes to a close, your transfer will take you back home with cherished memories of Ras Al Khaimah’s beauty, adventure, and warm hospitality.
