Semalam dapat jemputan dari Kak Syida sekeluarga yang tinggal di RAK (Ras Al Khaimah) ada buat makan-makan sket kat sana lepas maghrib. Perjalanan dari Dubai Al-Barsha mengambil masa lebih kurang 2 jam lebih...memandangkan hari semalam last day hari bekerja so petang tu perjalanan slow sket sebelum nak masuk highway emirates.
Memandangkan 1st time pergi so kami parking kereta kat area Terminal 2 Airport..so tumpang kereta En Zarul (radicare) sampai ke RAK...agak jauh jugaklah perjalanan nasi baik budak-budak tido dalam kereta tak meragam sangat...tapi waktu nak balik pulak dia meragam letih agaknya.

Economy
As the emirate will never be a major oil producer, RAK has instead had to concentrate on developing its industrial sector. It opened the UAE's first cement company in the early 1970s and is now the UAE's largest producer of cement. In the 1980s, the emirate formed RAK Ceramics, which has become the world's largest ceramics producer, and Julphar, the Persian Gulf region's first pharmaceuticals company.
