The City of Ras Al Khaimah is the capital of the Emirate and it is divided into two parts by the Creek of Khor Ras Al Khaimah. The Western part of Ras Al Khaimah is known as the Old Town , where the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah and some government departments are located. Al Khor Road which runs alongside the creek has a corniche which is very popular for the many restaurants and coffee bars, is a great place to go for an evening stroll with friends and family and it also has a jogging trail for those who want to keep fit. The views across the creek and the mangroves is stunning. Opposite the corniche there is the Sheik Zayed Mosque. The Eastern part of Ras Al Khaimah , which is known as AL Nakheel , includes some government departments and business centres. There are many small shops where you can find some great bargains in souvenirs, fabrics, jewellery etc The two parts of Ras Al Khaimah are connected by a major bridge going over the creek.
