Eligible hosts are also permitted to nominate multiple visitors, allowing more than one guest to be registered under their sponsorship.<\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Ras Al Khaimah is inviting its residents and citizens to take a more active role in promoting the emirate as a destination for international visitors through a new tourism ambassador programme. The initiative, known as the \u201cRAK Ambassador\u201d programme, gives eligible residents an opportunity to introduce relatives, friends, colleagues and business contacts from overseas to the emirate while also allowing participating visitors to benefit from a range of special offers.<\/p><p>Through the programme, people living in Ras Al Khaimah can become ambassadors for the emirate by registering for the initiative and inviting visitors from outside the UAE to experience what the destination has to offer. Participants can help introduce their international contacts to the emirate\u2019s attractions, hospitality options and wider tourism experiences, while their nominated guests can access selected discounts and benefits during their stay.<\/p><p>The initiative was officially launched on August 18 as part of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s wider efforts to strengthen its reputation as an international tourism and investment destination. It also supports the broader ambitions of Ras Al Khaimah Vision 2030, which seeks to advance the emirate\u2019s economic and tourism development.<\/p><p>The campaign will run from August 19 until October 31, 2026. During this period, eligible citizens and residents aged 18 or older can register as RAK Ambassadors and nominate visitors travelling to the emirate from abroad.<\/p><p>The programme creates an opportunity for local communities to become part of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s tourism promotion efforts. Rather than relying solely on traditional marketing channels, the initiative encourages people who live in the emirate to share their own connections and networks with potential international visitors.<\/p><p>Family members living overseas can be invited to discover Ras Al Khaimah, while friends and professional contacts can also be introduced to the emirate. In this way, the programme seeks to use existing personal and professional relationships to generate interest among people who may be considering a visit to the UAE.<\/p><p>For participating residents, the ambassador role provides an opportunity to showcase the emirate to people they already know. They can encourage their guests to explore Ras Al Khaimah and experience its tourism offerings, helping visitors gain a closer understanding of the destination beyond the UAE\u2019s more widely known tourism hubs.<\/p><p>Ras Al Khaimah has increasingly positioned itself as a destination offering a combination of natural landscapes, leisure experiences and hospitality. The new ambassador programme builds on that positioning by encouraging residents and citizens to personally recommend the emirate to people within their international networks.<\/p><p>The programme is also intended to provide an added incentive for overseas visitors. Guests nominated through the initiative can receive access to discounted accommodation, attraction tickets and other exclusive benefits, making their trip more attractive while giving them additional reasons to explore the emirate.<\/p><p>Under the programme\u2019s requirements, visitors need to be registered before they arrive in the UAE if they are travelling on a tourist visa or using a visa-on-arrival arrangement. Eligible hosts are not limited to inviting just one person, meaning an ambassador can nominate more than one visitor during the campaign period.<\/p><p>This allows residents to participate in the initiative with multiple members of their personal or professional networks. For example, an eligible host could nominate family members, friends or business contacts who are planning to visit the UAE during the campaign.<\/p><p>The registration requirement is an important part of the programme because nominated visitors must be recorded before their arrival in the country. Residents who want to participate therefore need to complete the relevant ambassador registration process and nominate their overseas guests within the requirements of the initiative.<\/p><p>The campaign is designed around a straightforward idea: people who live in Ras Al Khaimah can become advocates for the place they call home. By sharing their experiences and inviting people they know to visit, ambassadors can contribute to efforts to raise the emirate\u2019s international profile.<\/p><p>Personal recommendations can play an important role in encouraging travel. Visitors may be more interested in discovering a destination when it is recommended by someone they know personally, particularly when that person can provide insight into local attractions and experiences.<\/p><p>The RAK Ambassador programme seeks to make use of this personal connection while adding tangible benefits for nominated guests. Discounted stays, attraction offers and other privileges can complement the recommendations made by participating residents.<\/p><p>The initiative is not limited to family tourism. The programme also encourages residents to engage their professional and business networks. International contacts can be invited to experience Ras Al Khaimah, potentially introducing the emirate to people who may have previously been unfamiliar with its tourism and investment opportunities.<\/p><p>This wider approach reflects the emirate\u2019s ambition to strengthen both tourism and investment activity. By reaching international audiences through residents and citizens, Ras Al Khaimah can broaden the network of people who are introduced to its destination offering.<\/p><p>The campaign also aims to support economic activity across several sectors. When international visitors arrive, their spending can benefit hotels, tourism businesses, attractions, retail outlets and other parts of the local economy. Encouraging more visitors to discover the emirate can therefore have an impact beyond individual tourism experiences.<\/p><p>Hospitality is one of the sectors expected to benefit from increased visitor activity. Guests arriving through the initiative can take advantage of discounted accommodation options, encouraging them to stay in the emirate and experience its hospitality offering.<\/p><p>Attractions are another central part of the programme. Special ticket offers can encourage nominated visitors to explore more of what Ras Al Khaimah has to offer rather than simply using the emirate as a base while travelling elsewhere in the UAE.<\/p><p>Retail businesses can also benefit when international guests spend money during their visit. Increased visitor numbers and longer or more active stays can contribute to spending across shops and other consumer-facing businesses.<\/p><p>The initiative therefore connects community participation with the emirate\u2019s wider tourism objectives. Residents and citizens become part of the promotional process, visitors receive additional incentives to explore the destination, and tourism-related businesses have the opportunity to benefit from increased activity.<\/p><p>The launch comes as Ras Al Khaimah continues to develop its profile on the international tourism stage. The emirate has sought to attract visitors by highlighting its distinctive combination of landscapes, attractions and hospitality experiences.<\/p><p>For residents, the ambassador programme offers a direct way to support these efforts. Instead of simply recommending Ras Al Khaimah informally, participants can register under an organised campaign and nominate international guests who can receive benefits linked to the programme.<\/p><p>The age requirement means that participation is open to citizens and residents who are at least 18 years old. Those who meet the eligibility criteria can take part during the campaign window, which begins on August 19 and concludes on October 31, 2026.<\/p><p>The timing of the campaign also gives residents several weeks to identify and nominate overseas visitors. People with relatives or friends planning a UAE trip during the campaign period can potentially use the initiative to provide those guests with additional benefits while introducing them to Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p><p>For business and professional networks, the programme can offer another way to introduce international contacts to the emirate. Visitors who arrive for business-related purposes can also be encouraged to discover the destination\u2019s tourism offerings during their time in the UAE.<\/p><p>The initiative places residents at the centre of the emirate\u2019s outreach strategy. Their knowledge of Ras Al Khaimah and their connections with people overseas can help communicate the destination\u2019s appeal in a more personal way.<\/p><p>By inviting international guests, ambassadors can share their own perspective on the emirate and encourage visitors to explore its different experiences. This can help create greater awareness among people who may not have previously considered Ras Al Khaimah as a destination for their next UAE visit.<\/p><p>The programme also highlights the role that local communities can play in tourism development. Tourism promotion is often associated with official campaigns and destination marketing organisations, but initiatives such as RAK Ambassador provide residents with an opportunity to contribute directly.<\/p><p>For the emirate, the benefits could extend beyond the duration of the campaign. Visitors who have a positive experience may become familiar with Ras Al Khaimah and potentially consider returning in the future. They may also share their experiences with their own networks, helping to extend awareness of the destination.<\/p><p>The ambassador model can therefore create a chain of recommendations. A resident invites an overseas contact, the visitor experiences the emirate and receives selected benefits, and that visitor may subsequently share their experience with others.<\/p><p>The programme\u2019s emphasis on personal and professional connections is particularly relevant to an increasingly connected global audience. Residents often have networks that extend across different countries, providing a direct channel through which information about Ras Al Khaimah can reach potential visitors.<\/p><p>The initiative also presents an opportunity to highlight the emirate\u2019s tourism identity from the perspective of people who live there. Residents can encourage their guests to discover the destination\u2019s attractions and experience the character of Ras Al Khaimah firsthand.<\/p><p>For nominated visitors, the combination of personal recommendations and exclusive offers may make the emirate a more appealing part of a UAE itinerary. Discounts on accommodation and attraction tickets can provide practical value, while the ambassador\u2019s invitation can provide a personal reason to explore the destination.<\/p><p>The programme is consequently designed to bring together three groups: residents and citizens who act as ambassadors, international visitors who are nominated through the initiative, and businesses that benefit from additional tourism activity.<\/p><p>Its wider objective is to support Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s ambitions to grow as a global tourism and investment destination. The programme complements those ambitions by encouraging people already living in the emirate to actively promote it among their overseas contacts.<\/p><p>Ras Al Khaimah Vision 2030 provides the broader strategic context for the initiative. The ambassador campaign forms part of efforts to support the emirate\u2019s development objectives by increasing its international visibility and encouraging greater visitor activity.<\/p><p>The programme also reinforces the idea that tourism growth can involve the wider community. Residents are not simply observers of the emirate\u2019s tourism sector; through the RAK Ambassador initiative, they can participate in promoting the destination and introducing new visitors to it.<\/p><p>For those considering participation, the key requirements are straightforward. The ambassador must be a citizen or resident of Ras Al Khaimah and must be at least 18 years old. Eligible participants can register during the campaign and nominate visitors from abroad.<\/p><p>The nominated visitors must complete the required registration before entering the UAE when travelling on a tourist visa or through visa on arrival. An eligible ambassador can nominate more than one overseas visitor, giving residents flexibility in deciding whom they would like to invite.<\/p><p>The campaign\u2019s benefits are aimed at encouraging visitors to spend time in Ras Al Khaimah and explore its tourism offering. Discounted stays can support accommodation demand, while special attraction tickets can encourage guests to participate in more experiences during their visit.<\/p><p>Other exclusive benefits available under the initiative add another incentive for visitors to take part. Together, these offers are intended to make the experience more rewarding for guests while strengthening the connection between residents and the emirate\u2019s tourism sector.<\/p><p>Ultimately, the RAK Ambassador initiative turns everyday connections into an avenue for destination promotion. Residents and citizens can use their relationships with people overseas to introduce them to Ras Al Khaimah, while nominated visitors receive incentives that can enhance their trip.<\/p><p>The emirate hopes this community-led approach will help increase international awareness, attract more visitors and support spending across tourism-related industries. Hotels, attractions, retailers and other businesses can all potentially gain from increased visitor numbers and activity.<\/p><p>At the same time, the programme gives residents a chance to share the destination with people who matter to them. Whether the connection is personal, family-based or professional, ambassadors can encourage their guests to see Ras Al Khaimah from a different perspective and experience its attractions firsthand.<\/p><p>With the campaign running from August 19 to October 31, 2026, eligible citizens and residents have a defined period in which to participate. The initiative is expected to serve as another component of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s efforts to build its international tourism presence and contribute to the objectives outlined under Vision 2030.<\/p><p>By combining exclusive visitor benefits with community participation, the RAK Ambassador programme aims to create a mutually beneficial experience. Residents can help promote the emirate, overseas guests can discover Ras Al Khaimah with access to selected offers, and local tourism and retail businesses can benefit from increased international visitor activity.<\/p><p>The initiative ultimately seeks to make tourism promotion a shared effort. By empowering residents and citizens to invite people from their international circles, Ras Al Khaimah is encouraging its own community to become part of the emirate\u2019s journey towards greater global recognition as a tourism and investment destination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce8d73b e-flex e-con-boxed cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ce8d73b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f839956 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f839956\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>International visitors participating in Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s new tourism ambassador programme can take advantage of a broad selection of special offers designed to make their stay in the emirate more attractive and rewarding. The benefits cover accommodation, entertainment, dining, adventure activities, transportation and shopping, giving nominated guests several opportunities to experience different aspects of the destination at preferential rates.<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>One of the main attractions of the programme is the availability of discounted hotel stays. Visitors travelling to Ras Al Khaimah through the initiative can access special accommodation offers, potentially making it more affordable for them to spend additional time exploring the emirate. The accommodation benefits are intended to encourage guests to stay locally and experience the destination rather than treating it simply as a short stop during a wider UAE trip.<\/p><p>The programme also provides access to special deals on tickets for some of the emirate\u2019s prominent tourist attractions. These offers are intended to encourage visitors to explore Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s leisure and entertainment options and discover more of what the destination has to offer.<\/p><p>Dining is another key part of the package. Participating visitors can benefit from discounts at selected restaurants and cafes, allowing them to experience the emirate\u2019s food and beverage scene while receiving additional value during their stay. The dining offers can also encourage guests to spend more time in local establishments and explore different culinary experiences.<\/p><p>For visitors interested in outdoor and adventure activities, the programme includes opportunities to access marine experiences and safari tours. These activities add an experiential element to the initiative and allow guests to explore Ras Al Khaimah beyond its hotels and conventional sightseeing attractions.<\/p><p>Marine activities can provide visitors with a chance to experience the emirate\u2019s coastal environment, while safari tours offer an opportunity to discover its desert landscapes. Together, the experiences reflect the variety of attractions available across Ras Al Khaimah and support the emirate\u2019s efforts to position itself as a destination with something for different types of travellers.<\/p><p>The benefits are not limited to tourism and leisure activities. Visitors can also receive special offers related to luxury car rentals, giving them another way to travel around the emirate. The inclusion of premium vehicle options adds a lifestyle element to the package and is aimed at visitors looking for a more distinctive or upscale experience during their stay.<\/p><p>Shopping is also included in the programme, with exclusive offers available at Al Manar Mall. This gives nominated visitors another reason to explore the emirate\u2019s retail sector while benefiting from promotional deals.<\/p><p>By bringing together accommodation, attractions, restaurants, adventure experiences, transportation and retail offers, the programme provides a wide-ranging package rather than focusing on a single area of tourism. The idea is to encourage visitors to explore several parts of Ras Al Khaimah and spend more within the local economy.<\/p><p>The initiative was introduced by the Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry and has been presented as a first-of-its-kind programme in the emirate. Its launch reflects an effort to create a closer connection between the local business community, residents and international visitors.<\/p><p>Rather than relying exclusively on conventional destination marketing, the programme gives citizens and residents a direct role in attracting overseas guests. Eligible participants can act as ambassadors by inviting people from their personal and professional networks to visit Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p><p>This community-focused approach is intended to strengthen the connection between local residents and the emirate\u2019s tourism ambitions. People who live in Ras Al Khaimah are able to introduce relatives, friends, colleagues and business contacts to the destination while their guests receive access to selected benefits.<\/p><p>The initiative is intended to broaden the range of tourism and investment experiences available in Ras Al Khaimah. According to Dr Rashid Khalfan Al Nuaimi, Director General of the Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the programme gives citizens and residents an opportunity to participate actively in promoting the emirate.<\/p><p>The approach also reflects the chamber\u2019s efforts to connect the emirate\u2019s tourism objectives with the interests of the wider business community. By attracting more international visitors, the initiative can help create additional demand for hotels, restaurants, attractions, retail outlets and other tourism-related businesses.<\/p><p>A major feature of the programme is its collaboration between public and private sector organisations. Bringing different stakeholders together allows the initiative to offer visitors a wider range of benefits while creating a shared platform for promoting Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p><p>Hotels, restaurants, attractions, retailers and activity providers can all play a role in the programme. Their participation helps create a more comprehensive visitor experience and allows international guests to access offers across several sectors.<\/p><p>The partnership model is also intended to generate broader economic benefits. More visitors can mean higher demand for accommodation, greater restaurant activity, increased spending at attractions and stronger footfall for retail businesses.<\/p><p>Hotel occupancy is another area the initiative aims to support. Encouraging international guests to stay in Ras Al Khaimah, rather than simply visiting for a day, can contribute to demand for local accommodation and help strengthen the emirate\u2019s hospitality industry.<\/p><p>The programme\u2019s focus on visitor spending is similarly linked to the wider commercial economy. International tourists typically spend across multiple categories, including accommodation, food, transportation, entertainment, shopping and experiences. By encouraging guests to explore these different areas, the initiative seeks to increase the economic value generated by tourism.<\/p><p>For the hospitality sector, the campaign can create additional opportunities to attract new customers. Hotels participating in the programme can offer special rates to nominated guests, while restaurants and cafes can use promotional offers to encourage visitors to dine locally.<\/p><p>Tourism attractions can also benefit from increased exposure. Special ticket offers may persuade visitors to try activities they might otherwise overlook, helping them discover more of the emirate during their stay.<\/p><p>Adventure and marine operators can similarly gain from greater visitor participation. Safari tours and water-based activities provide experiences that highlight Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s natural surroundings and complement the emirate\u2019s hotel and leisure offerings.<\/p><p>The shopping component adds another dimension to the programme. By including exclusive offers at Al Manar Mall, the initiative encourages international visitors to participate in the local retail economy. Shopping can become an additional part of their itinerary alongside sightseeing, dining and adventure activities.<\/p><p>Luxury car rental benefits provide another option for visitors who want to explore the emirate in a premium vehicle. This offer complements the programme\u2019s broader range of lifestyle and leisure benefits and gives guests greater flexibility in how they travel around Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p><p>The overall structure of the initiative is designed to encourage visitors to experience more of the emirate. Instead of focusing on one attraction or activity, guests can choose from a selection of offers depending on their interests.<\/p><p>Families may be interested in attractions and dining, adventure travellers may prefer safari or marine experiences, while business visitors could take advantage of hospitality, dining and premium transportation options. The variety of benefits allows the programme to appeal to different categories of international guests.<\/p><p>The initiative also has a promotional purpose. When residents invite overseas contacts to visit, they effectively extend Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s reach into international communities. Visitors who have a positive experience can subsequently share their impressions with friends, relatives and colleagues in their own countries.<\/p><p>This creates the potential for personal recommendations to support wider destination awareness. A visitor arriving through a resident\u2019s invitation may become familiar with Ras Al Khaimah and later recommend the emirate to others.<\/p><p>The chamber\u2019s involvement provides a business-focused dimension to the initiative. As a platform connecting businesses within the emirate, the Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry can help bring commercial partners together and create opportunities for collaboration across sectors.<\/p><p>The programme therefore links tourism promotion with business development. Increasing international visitor numbers can support not only tourism operators but also a wider range of businesses that benefit from consumer spending.<\/p><p>The initiative is also aligned with Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s broader ambitions to strengthen its position as an international destination. By offering visitors a combination of experiences and incentives, the emirate can showcase its tourism potential while encouraging greater participation from local businesses.<\/p><p>For citizens and residents, the programme offers a practical way to contribute. Becoming an ambassador allows them to invite international contacts and help introduce them to the emirate\u2019s attractions, hospitality and commercial offerings.<\/p><p>For visitors, the programme adds financial and experiential incentives to their trip. They can receive discounts and special deals while discovering different parts of Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p><p>For businesses, the potential advantage lies in increased customer traffic and spending. More international visitors can create demand across hotels, restaurants, cafes, attractions, transport providers, activity operators and retail outlets.<\/p><p>This creates a three-way benefit involving the community, visitors and the local economy. Residents gain an opportunity to promote their home, visitors receive added value, and businesses have the potential to attract new customers.<\/p><p>The programme is also designed to make the visitor experience more varied. A guest could combine a discounted hotel stay with restaurant offers, attraction tickets, a desert safari, a marine activity and shopping deals. This encourages visitors to explore different parts of the emirate instead of concentrating on a single activity.<\/p><p>Such an approach can help demonstrate the diversity of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s tourism offering. The emirate can appeal to travellers seeking relaxation, adventure, entertainment, shopping, dining or premium experiences, while the ambassador programme provides a framework for introducing these options to overseas guests.<\/p><p>Registration for the RAK Ambassador initiative is available through the Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry\u2019s website. Eligible residents and citizens who wish to participate can register and use the programme to nominate visitors from abroad in accordance with the campaign requirements.<\/p><p>The initiative is expected to play a role in increasing awareness of Ras Al Khaimah among international audiences while encouraging greater activity within the emirate\u2019s tourism and commercial sectors.<\/p><p>By combining exclusive visitor offers with a community-led promotional strategy, the programme represents a different approach to destination marketing. Instead of positioning residents solely as beneficiaries of tourism growth, it gives them an active role in bringing new visitors to the emirate.<\/p><p>The involvement of private-sector partners further strengthens the initiative by expanding the range of benefits available to guests. From hotels and restaurants to attractions, marine operators, safari providers, luxury car rental companies and retailers, multiple parts of the economy can participate in attracting and serving international visitors.<\/p><p>The programme\u2019s emphasis on increased visitor spending and hotel occupancy also highlights its economic objectives. Tourism growth can have a wider effect on businesses and employment, particularly when visitors stay longer and participate in a broader range of activities.<\/p><p>For Ras Al Khaimah, the ambition goes beyond simply increasing visitor numbers. The initiative is intended to encourage guests to experience the emirate more fully, spend within the local economy and potentially return in the future.<\/p><p>Ultimately, the RAK Ambassador initiative seeks to turn local connections into new tourism opportunities. Citizens and residents can invite people from their international networks, while those visitors receive access to a package of special deals covering accommodation, attractions, food, adventure, transportation and shopping.<\/p><p>The programme also demonstrates how collaboration between the public and private sectors can support destination development. By bringing businesses and community members into the same tourism effort, Ras Al Khaimah aims to strengthen its appeal to international travellers while creating additional opportunities for local enterprises.<\/p><p>With registration available through the Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the initiative provides an organised platform for residents and citizens who want to promote the emirate to their overseas contacts. Its combination of exclusive benefits and community participation is intended to create a stronger connection between international visitors and Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p><p>As the campaign progresses, its broader objective will be to encourage more people to discover the emirate, experience its attractions and contribute to the growth of its hospitality, tourism and commercial sectors. The initiative ultimately places residents at the heart of the destination\u2019s promotional efforts while giving international guests additional reasons to explore Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77e2af2 e-flex e-con-boxed cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"77e2af2\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dc7bcf cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1dc7bcf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-1024x559.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-47315\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-1024x559.webp 1024w, https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-300x164.webp 300w, https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-768x419.webp 768w, https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-1536x838.webp 1536w, https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-550x300.webp 550w, https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt-330x180.webp 330w, https:\/\/insider18.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/touristt.webp 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents of Ras Al Khaimah can enjoy a range of special offers, privileges and exclusive benefits by joining the emirate\u2019s tourism ambassador programme and helping promote its attractions and experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"post_template":[],"top_category":[],"class_list":["post-47311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uae","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47311"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47318,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47311\/revisions\/47318"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47311"},{"taxonomy":"post_template","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_template?post=47311"},{"taxonomy":"top_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insider18.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/top_category?post=47311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
