National Museum of Ras al-Khaimah
The National Museum of Ras al-Khaimah, set in an imposing 18th-century fort built of stone and gypsum, and with a wonderful wind tower, was the residence of the Qawassim rulers until the 1970s. The thoughtfully curated collection includes exhibits on the area's natural history, archaeology, ethnography and the Qawassim tribe. Highlights include intricately patterned Iron-Age softstone vessels, 18th-century terracotta urns and other splendid artefacts from Julfar, the biggest port in the UAE from the 13th until the 18th century, and Shamal.

Al-Sahari
RAK's locals keep coming back to this popular eatery for its friendly service and cheap tasty food. How can you resist the charm of a place that boasts ‘our objective is salubrious food and the sweet taste and the special arabic kindness'? The expansive menu features Lebanese staples, a few Emirati favourites, with some ‘international' dishes thrown in, from fried Sultan Ibrahim fish and shish tawooq to ‘Chateau Briand' and ‘chicken Maggi soup'.

Al Shafah Bakery
This hole-in-the-wall Afghani bakery, a few doors down from the Vegetarian's Restaurant, does delicious ‘pizzas'. Try the cheese and zaatar (thyme), or mutton with cheese. Eat them while they're piping hot, straight out of the stone oven.

Al Fakher Popular Café
Local guys love the traditional barasti coffeehouse Al Fakher Popular Café, overlooking the lagoon where they play backgammon, drink coffee and puff on a sheesha well into the night. It's near Mina Saqr.
