Fujairah Adventures and Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) have signed a groundbreaking partnership that will take the UAE’s adventure tourism to new heights, in the presence of Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah.
The collaboration, formalised by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at Fujairah's International Conference on Adventure Tourism on April 30, aims to bring together Ras Al Khaimah’s soaring peaks and adventure attractions with Fujairah’s wadis and heritage trails.
The adventure opportunities enabled by this partnership – includes the creation of the UAE’s first cross-emirate hiking trail – aims to unlock the full potential of the Northern Emirates’ landscapes. Together, the two destinations are said to offer a first-of-its-kind, integrated adventure experience that spans rugged mountains, ancient wadis, coastal areas, and expansive deserts.
Brent Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer, RAKTDA said: “This collaboration isn't just about expanding our tourism offerings – it's about creating meaningful connections between landscapes, communities, and cultures in ways we've never seen before. By partnering with Fujairah Adventures, we are not only enriching adventure tourism in the UAE but also setting a precedent for cross-destination collaborations that celebrate diversity, champion sustainability, and inspire a new era of exploration across the region’s most breathtaking terrains.”
Amr Zein Eddin, Fujairah Adventures Center Manager, said: “This MOU represents a strategic step toward strengthening the adventure tourism landscape in the UAE. By joining forces with Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, we enhance our collective presence on the international stage, positioning both emirates as key players in the region’s adventure tourism sector. This collaboration allows us to share expertise, align development efforts, and create a more interconnected and competitive offering that attracts global adventurers while preserving the unique identity of each destination. Additionally, it highlights the rich culture and heritage of both emirates, ensuring that adventure tourism is deeply rooted in the authentic experiences and history that define our regions.”
