LOCATION

Ras al-Khaimah, constituent emirate of the United Arab Emirates (formerly Trucial States, or Trucial Oman). It consists of two irregularly shaped tracts on the Musandam Peninsula, oriented north-south. The northern section shares the Ruʾūs al-Jibāl peninsula with the sultanate of Oman and has a coastline of approximately 35 miles (56 km) on the Persian Gulf. A southern inland tract is separated from the northern by a projection of Fujairah emirate. Political fragmentation in the region is so extreme that Ras al-Khaimah’s two parts have borders with 10 political units; eight belong to five of the six other emirates in the federation, and the other two are with Oman and its exclave on the Ruʾūs al-Jibāl. Ras al-Khaimah’s estimated total area is 660 square miles (1,700 square km). The capital and most significant urban settlement is Ras al-Khaimah city.

Ras al-Khaimah emirate is among the principal producers of the country’s crops. Truck crops (cabbages, onions, tomatoes), dates, tobacco, and fruits, especially bananas and citrus fruits, are grown along the coast around Ras al-Khaimah city for local consumption and for export to other states of the federation, mainly Dubai. Elsewhere along the coast, employment opportunities waned with the decline of the pearling industry, and much depopulation occurred. The Shiḥūh people of the Ruʾūs al-Jibāl sell surpluses of dates and raise goats. The emirate has received aid from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as well as from its sister states Abu Dhabi and Dubai. From 1964 to 1972 much of Ras al-Khaimah’s revenue came from commemorative stamps, printed for sale to philatelists. Industries in Ras al-Khaimah include the production of ceramics, pharmaceuticals, cement, lime, and a variety of construction materials.

The name Ras al-Khaimah means “the tent point,” reputedly after a large tent erected as an aid to navigation by an early chief. The city, a port from ancient times, developed only in the 20th century. Ras al-Khaimah city is connected by a paved road to Dubai and Sharjah city and has an international airport. Several ports—including Port Ṣaqr—handle the emirate’s shipping traffic. Ras al-Khaimah city is also the site of Al-Ittiḥād University (1999). Pop. (2005) 210,063; (2015 est.) 345,000.

United Arab Emirates, federation of seven emirates along the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The largest of these emirates, Abu Dhabi (Abū Ẓaby), which comprises more than three-fourths of the federation’s total land area, is the centre of its oil industry and borders Saudi Arabia on the federation’s southern and eastern borders. The port city of Dubai, located at the base of the mountainous Musandam Peninsula, is the capital of the emirate of Dubai (Dubayy) and is one of the region’s most vital commercial and financial centres, housing hundreds of multinational corporations in a forest of skyscrapers. The smaller emirates of Sharjah (Al-Shāriqah), ʿAjman (ʿAjmān), Umm al-Quwain (Umm al-Qaywayn), and Ras al-Khaimah (Raʾs al-Khaymah) also occupy the peninsula, whose protrusion north toward Iran forms the Strait of Hormuz linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. The federation’s seventh member, Fujairah (Al-Fujayrah), faces the Gulf of Oman and is the only member of the union with no frontage along the Persian Gulf.

The climate is hot and humid along the coast and is hotter still, but dry, in the interior. Rainfall averages only 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm) annually, though it fluctuates considerably from year to year. The average January temperature is 64 °F (18 °C), while in July the temperature averages 91 °F (33 °C). Summertime highs can reach 115 °F (46 °C) on the coast and 120 °F (49 °C) or more in the desert. In midwinter and early summer, winds known as the shamāl (Arabic: “norther”) blow from the north and northwest, bearing dust and sand.

The official language of the United Arab Emirates is Arabic. Modern Standard Arabic is taught in schools, and most native Emiratis speak a dialect of Gulf Arabic that is generally similar to that spoken in surrounding countries. A number of languages are spoken among the expatriate community, including various dialects of Pashto, Hindi, Balochi, and Persian. English is also widely spoken.
