United Arab Emirates impressions - Ras Al Khaimah


‘The lanes are cluttered with rubble; they are narrow to maintain privacy like a maze only the occupier can find his way around. The windows will look in on the lane on one side yet the houses on the other will not have any windows this is to prevent overlooking. For a outsider the streets of Ras Al Khaimah can feel unsafe and dangerous even, however this may not be the case for the people who live there…I saw children playing hide and seek in this lane.’
