" Christmas in Ras Al Khaimah" Ras Al Khaimah Local Custom Tip by Kuznetsov_Sergey

I traveled to the Arab Emirates on the eve of Christmas. So unusual was for me to watch a Christmas-tree and Santa Claus in a vestibule of Al Hamra Fort Hotel in Ras Al Khaimah! It was hot outside like in summer and it was very difficult to imagine that there was a lot of snow somewhere four thousand kilometers to the north in Moscow… Nevertheless Christmas-tree toys and ornaments looked very impressive there and reminded me that in a few weeks we would celebrate this holiday with our Ded Moroz in snowy Russia.

You may watch my high resolution photo of Ras Al Khaimah on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 25° 41' 25.54" N 55° 46' 31.82" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Al Hamra Fort Hotel beach 1 .
