Mina Saqr, Ras Al Khaimah

Mina Saqr, a man-made deep-water harbor in Ras Al Khaimah, is a vital center for maritime trade and industry. This strategic location near the Strait of Hormuz plays a crucial role in the regional supply chain for construction materials, handling general cargo, bulk cement, and more. While primarily focused on industrial operations, Mina Saqr offers a glimpse into local life. Relax and socialize at Saqr Park, a community green space established in 1991.

Despite the lack of a bustling nightlife scene, unwind at local cafes and restaurants, enjoying traditional karak and regag. Seek out unique finds at the Old Souq, a vibrant marketplace. For a surprising cultural connection, you might find some of the attractions listed for Khawr Fakkan, like the Al Suhub Rest House and the Portuguese Fort, also accessible from Mina Saqr. Explore the Saqr Port Free Zone, a major hub for international industry and a supplier of construction materials for the UAE's real estate boom.
