Good Place to learn History of RAK
A really nice small little museum that has been established inside an old fort. The museum gives you an great insight in to the histroy of RAK starting from as back as 5000 BC. The best part is that despite being in a very old building, the musuem is 100% accesible with ramps for all stairs as well as to go on the second floor. A few areas of the musuem are still under development yet there is plenty to see. The rooftop view is oretty nice and you can get a nice burds eye view of RAK. The staff is very nice, courteous, and very helpful. The tour is ended with a complimentary Arabian coffee. Parking is plenty and very convenient. The Google Maps however keeps on sending you in loops so just look at the map once and make sense as to where the entrance is.

Unique insight into the culture & heritage of Ras Al Khaimah
From start to finish, this is a truly unique and special experience and a fantastic introduction to the culture and heritage of Ras Al Khaimah (or should we say Julfar!). Housed in the original Old Fort of Ras Al Khaimah, it was also the residence of the Royal Family until the 1960s - giving you a unique insight into various facets of life in the Emirate. Our favourite room housed traditional Emirati jewellery, each piece was impressive but what made this exhibition stand out was the personal stories of the people who had gifted these pieces to the museum to share with us all. Thank you to our lovely local Emirati guide for sharing the history and heritage of Ras Al Khaimah with us, it’s a memory we will treasure.

A great visit to RAK Museum!
Spent 3 days in RAK and had a chance to visit the museum. Entrance fee was 5 AED and an extra 20AED (if I remember it right) if you want to do the clay pot. Interesting things on display as many others have said. This fort turned museum should not be missed when visiting RAK for the first time.
