Intercity transfers

Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah private transfers, both ways

Private transfers run from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah and from Ras Al Khaimah back to Dubai, starting at DXB, DWC, a Dubai hotel or any address. Most trips end at a resort, so the useful details are the resort's full name, the arrival date and the number of bags. Send those with your passenger count and we reply with a quote on WhatsApp or by phone.

Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) has its own airport, Ras Al Khaimah International (RKT), and its resort areas are different parts of the emirate: Al Marjan Island, Al Hamra and Mina Al Arab are separate stops, each with several properties. Naming the area as well as the hotel avoids mix-ups between similar names.

How do I get from DXB or DWC to a Ras Al Khaimah resort?

Send your terminal, flight number and landing date and time in UAE time, plus the resort name and area. Your driver meets you in the arrivals area holding a name board, we follow the flight's status so the pickup is planned around the actual landing, and 30 minutes of free waiting time is included. Terminal 3 at DXB is used by Emirates.

If you land late, tell us the resort's reception hours if you know them, and keep your phone on when you land. The team and the driver can then coordinate with you if anything changes.

What if my flight lands at Ras Al Khaimah airport instead?

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT) is the emirate's own airport, so a flight landing there is an airport pickup in RAK, not a Dubai one. Send the flight number and landing time, and say if you are heading to a RAK resort or on to Dubai.

If you are not sure which airport your ticket uses, check the three-letter code on the booking. RKT is Ras Al Khaimah, DXB and DWC are Dubai, and SHJ is Sharjah.

How much luggage can we bring on a resort trip?

An SUV takes up to 5 passengers with 4 large bags, and a sedan takes up to 3 passengers with 2 large bags. Beach holidays tend to mean heavier cases, so count every suitcase before choosing. A van seats 6 to 14 and suits larger families, and a mini bus or coach covers groups of 15 or more.

Tell us about golf clubs, pushchairs, diving kit or other bulky items when you ask for the quote. Al Hamra has a golf course, for example, and sports bags need room that a standard boot may not give. Child seats are available on request, subject to availability and confirmed with the quote.

Can I book the trip back to Dubai when my stay ends?

Yes. Add the return date and time to the form, or send the return as a separate trip once your check-out day is fixed. For a flight home, give the flight number, terminal and departure time in UAE time. Airlines publish their own check-in advice, so choose your pickup time with that in mind and tell us the time you want.

A one-way trip, a return after one night or a pickup at the end of a week all work. Say which you need so the quote matches.

Going from Ras Al Khaimah to Dubai: what should I send?

Give the resort or hotel name, the area and the entrance or reception where the driver should wait. Add where in Dubai you finish, which may be a hotel, an address or an airport terminal. Resorts can have several buildings, so name the one you are staying in.

Check-out time and flight time both matter, so give us the time you want collected and we plan around it. If your plans change, message the team on WhatsApp.

What should I check on the quote?

Compare the quote with your plan. Free cancellation applies when you cancel at least 48 hours before pickup.

  • Pickup point, date and time in UAE time
  • Whether the quote covers one way or both ways
  • How tolls, parking and waiting beyond the free 30 minutes are handled
  • Bulky items such as golf clubs and the number of large bags
  • Child seats, if you need them (on request and subject to availability)

Popular drop-offs in Ras Al Khaimah

Central Ras Al Khaimah

Visit Ras Al Khaimah places the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah in a historic fort that dates to the early 1600s in the old city, and describes Al Qawasim Corniche as a popular spot for water sports. For city-centre hotels, offices and the old town, give the building name and a WhatsApp pin.

Al Marjan Island

Visit Ras Al Khaimah describes Al Marjan Island as four coral-shaped islands with hotels, resorts and leisure hubs, and names properties including DoubleTree by Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Rixos Bab Al Bahr, Pullman, Radisson and Mövenpick. Many resorts share the island, so the full resort name matters more than the island name.

Al Hamra Village

Visit Ras Al Khaimah describes Al Hamra as a waterfront area with dining and shopping hubs, a marina, a golf course, hotels and resorts, naming Waldorf Astoria, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Hamra Beach and Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort, plus Al Hamra Mall and Al Hamra Marina. Give the hotel and the reception you need.

Mina Al Arab

Visit Ras Al Khaimah describes Mina Al Arab as a coastal community of beaches, mangroves and ecological reserves, with a marina of waterfront cafes and boutiques, and names InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah and Anantara Mina Al Arab. RAK Properties treats Hayat Island as part of the Mina Al Arab community. Name your hotel or residence.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I be collected from DXB and taken to a resort on Al Marjan Island?

Yes. Send your flight number, terminal and landing time in UAE time, plus the full resort name. The driver meets you in arrivals with a name board and the team tracks the flight, so a delay is built into the plan.

Do you take golf clubs and large sports bags to Al Hamra?

Usually yes, but tell us in the request. Golf clubs and sports bags take boot space, so we may suggest an SUV or a van depending on how many passengers and cases are travelling.

Can we do a one-night stay and come back the next day?

Yes. Add the return date and time to the form or send it as a separate trip. Give the resort name again for the return and the time you want to leave.

Is Ras Al Khaimah airport the same as Dubai airport?

No. Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT) is in Ras Al Khaimah, and Dubai's airports are DXB and DWC. Check the three-letter code on your booking and tell us which one applies.

Can a large family or group travel in one vehicle?

A van seats 6 to 14 passengers, and a mini bus or coach covers groups of 15 or more. Send the passenger count and the number of large bags, and the quote will name the suitable vehicle.
