Ras Al Khaimah consists of sandy desert, coastal strip with parts of salt flats and mountains. All these areas have different ecosystems, and therefore, the Emirate is a fascinating place for the nature lovers.
Apart from cultivated plants, there are three categories of flora life in Ras Al Khaimah – the salt loving vegetation; mountains and desert plants, which are plentiful after the rainfall. The Emirate is also home to number of mammals, mainly fox, jerboa or wildcat, and hundreds of bird species.
Previously, the government of Ras Al Khaimah has not given priority to environmental protection, but in recent years, it has become concerned about water resources, pollution and sanitation problems.
