Air Arabia, the low-cost carrier based at Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), operates direct flights between Rajkot (RAJ) and Sharjah on several days per week. This is the most practical route for Rajkot travellers heading to Ras Al Khaimah because SHJ is only ≈ 45 km (≈ 45 min by road) from RAK city — far closer than Dubai International Airport (DXB, ≈ 100 km from RAK). The RAJ–SHJ sector takes ≈ 3h on an Air Arabia A320; from SHJ, a taxi or bus to RAK costs ≈ AED 60–100 (≈ ₹1,400–₹2,300). Always check Air Arabia's current schedule as days of operation can shift seasonally.
Ras Al Khaimah has built a reputation as the most affordable emirate in the UAE, with lower hotel rates, quieter beaches and a growing adventure tourism sector (Jebel Jais via ferrata and zipline). A large Gujarati and Rajasthani expatriate community lives and works in RAK's industrial free zones. Rajkot's trading families frequently visit relatives and explore RAK's growing retail scene — the RAK Mall and the old Al Qawasim Corniche are popular with Indian visitors. The emirate's Al Hamra Golf Club and Marjan Island resorts offer good value compared to Dubai's premium properties.
Via Sharjah: RAJ–SHJ is ≈ 3h on Air Arabia. Add the 45-km road transfer (≈ 45 min) to RAK and the total door-to-door time is ≈ 4h 30m–5h. Via Dubai (DXB): Fly RAJ–AMD (≈ 45m) then AMD–DXB (≈ 3h) on IndiGo or Air India — total air time ≈ 4h plus layovers. From DXB, RAK is ≈ 100 km by road (1h 15m). This routing takes 6–7h total and makes sense only if Air Arabia's RAJ–SHJ schedule doesn't work for your dates. Emirates and FlyDubai also serve Ahmedabad and Mumbai if you want to consider a BOM or AMD hub for the Dubai connection.
As of June 2026, Air Arabia's RAJ–SHJ fares start from ≈ ₹10,000–₹15,000 one-way on early bookings and average ₹18,000–₹28,000 in peak winter months (November–February). Air Arabia's base fare carries 20 kg checked baggage — slightly more generous than Indian LCCs. Add an extra 10 kg bag for ≈ AED 50 (≈ ₹1,150) per segment if needed. The cheapest months to fly are July–August when RAK's beach season is off-peak due to 40 °C+ heat. Indian festivals (Diwali, Navratri) and school holidays push demand and prices up sharply.
Indian nationals need a UAE visa before boarding. The UAE offers an eVisa (30-day or 90-day tourist visa, ≈ AED 250–500 / ₹5,700–₹11,500) through airline-linked portals — Air Arabia can process it during booking. Alternatively, Indians holding a valid US B1/B2 visa, UK Tier visa or Schengen visa may qualify for UAE Visa-on-Arrival (30 days). Apply for the eVisa at least 48–72 hours before travel. Ras Al Khaimah airport's immigration follows the same UAE federal rules as Dubai. Overstaying your visa incurs fines; confirm your return dates match your visa validity.

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT) is a smaller airport primarily serving charter and LCC traffic. It is about 15 km south of RAK city centre; a taxi to the city takes ≈ 15–20 minutes at AED 40–60 (≈ ₹900–₹1,400). However, if you've arrived via Sharjah (SHJ), taxis to RAK cost ≈ AED 60–100 and take ≈ 45 min. Bus services connect SHJ to RAK but are infrequent — a taxi is more practical. Most beach resorts on Marjan Island (≈ 10 km from city) offer airport shuttle services from either RKT or SHJ — check with your hotel. Rajkot's Hirasar Airport (RAJ) has basic departure facilities; arrive 2h before any international departure.
October to April is the ideal travel window for RAK — cooler temperatures (18–30 °C), clear skies and peak activity on Jebel Jais (the UAE's highest peak at 1,934 m). The Jebel Jais via ferrata and world's longest zipline are best done in December–February. March and April bring pleasant beach weather before Gulf humidity climbs. November to January coincides with the RAK Half Marathon and various international cycling events. Summer (May–September) sees temperatures hit 43 °C+ with extreme humidity — the beach resorts reduce rates significantly but activity tourism halts. RAK's New Year fireworks (along the Al Hamra beachfront) are among the best in the UAE.
No non-stop RAJ–RKT flight exists. Air Arabia operates direct RAJ–SHJ (Sharjah) flights, and Sharjah is ≈ 45 km (≈ 45 min by road) from RAK — making it the most practical route with ≈ 4h 30m total journey time.
