| Did you know that Ras Al Khaimah boasts hot springs and therapeutic pools?
Situated at the base of Jebel Jais, you’ll find Khatt Village, a true hidden gem in RAK. It’s the perfect destination for a day of hiking, exploration, and Mother Nature-assisted therapy! With a rich history dating back 7,000 years, this quaint village has benefitted from the warm water of natural springs for centuries due to its therapeutic and healing properties. Within the village, you’ll find three hot springs, each with a depth of 90 feet and a consistent temperature of around 40°C. Research indicates that these mineral-rich, hot springs offer various healing benefits such as soothing skin ailments, rheumatic diseases, and muscular problems, thanks to the high mineral content present in the rocks. Similar healing techniques have been practiced for thousands of years in Europe and Japan. The idyllic village is surrounded by palm trees, a lush green oasis and a dramatic desert landscape. Spending an afternoon in this natural paradise might be just the tonic. Got any feedback or suggestions? We’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out at hello@heartofrak.com |
