Looking for a quaint coastal village to escape the hustle and bustle of city life? Look no further than Sha’am in the northern region of Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. This charming village, also known as Al-Sha’am, boasts stunning views of the Arabian Gulf and is a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts and sailing aficionados alike. But Sha’am is more than just a pretty face. This village is proud of its Emirati heritage and hospitality, with the UAE flag flying high over the mountains and shops. And for those looking to soak up some sun and surf, Shaam Beach is the perfect place to spend quality time with family and friends. So why not take a break from the daily grind and experience the beauty and charm of Sha’am? Just be prepared for a long drive, as it takes nearly three hours to get there from Abu Dhabi via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road/E311. But trust us, it’s worth the journey.
