The National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah is set within a restored 18th-century fort that once served as the residence of the ruling Al Qasimi family. Visitors explore rooms filled with archaeological finds, pearl diving equipment, traditional weapons, and ethnographic displays that reveal the emirate's past. The fort itself, with its watchtowers and courtyard, offers a glimpse into local architecture and defense. Highlights include a collection of manuscripts and artifacts from the region's ancient settlements.
