UAE’s Ras Al Khaimah takes wide-ranging health and safety measures as tourism reopens post-COVID lockdown
The northernmost of the seven emirates making up the United Arab Emirates, Ras Al Khaimah, obtained as the world’s first city both Bureau Veritas’ (BV) Safeguard Label and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) Safe Travels Stamp.
“As travel starts to resume, our role is to ensure robust measures are in place to protect the health and safety of our visitors and provide the peace of mind they need for a truly well-deserved holiday,” Raki Phillips, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, said in a press release on June 30.
The announcement comes on the heels of neighbouring Dubai’s decision to open its airport to international guests again from July 7. Dubai International Airport is a 45-minutes’ drive from Ras Al Khaimah.
