If your family has been hinting — or loudly declaring — that they need a break, UAE National Day just handed you the perfect excuse. InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa, that gorgeous award-winning escape tucked between the mountains and the sea, is rolling out a celebration that blends comfort, culture, and “finally, let’s relax” energy.
Think of it as the National Day getaway where parents unwind, kids go wild (safely), and everyone collects memories like souvenirs.
Family Rooms Designed for… actual families (not just pretty pictures)
The resort’s newly enhanced family rooms are basically Pinterest boards that came to life — but functional. Spacious layouts? Check. Elegant interiors? Check. Connecting rooms that save siblings from declaring war? Double check.
Large windows and private balconies frame the Arabian Gulf in full “screensaver mode,” so even your morning coffee feels like therapy.
Because Kids Deserve a Holiday Too
This is where the fun really starts.
- Dedicated Kids’ Pool: For splash battles, giggles, and tiny humans acting like dolphins.
- Aqua Fun Adventures: Floating playgrounds, water slides, inflatable obstacles — basically a child’s dream and a parent’s cardio session (if you join them).
- Planet Trekkers Kids Club: Creative workshops, games, supervised play… and yes, it’s the perfect place to “accidentally” get an hour of peace while the kids become explorers.
A Cultural Treat: Falcon Shows That Steal the Spotlight
Nothing says “UAE National Day vibes” like watching a majestic falcon swoop through the air like it owns the place (because it kind of does). Families get a front-row experience with these incredible birds while learning about one of the UAE’s oldest traditions.
It’s educational… but the cool kind.
NEW This Year: UAE National Day Local Market
For the first time ever, the resort is hosting a vibrant local market bursting with Emirati goodness — traditional clothing, artisanal crafts, oud that smells like luxury itself, and delicious local treats.
It’s the kind of place where you go “I’ll just browse” and suddenly you’re walking back with bags of treasures you 100% needed.
A Celebration With Meaning
In the words of Cameron McNeillie, the Resort’s General Manager:
“Our aim this National Day is to offer families a meaningful celebration — one that combines relaxation, fun, and a sense of national pride.”
And honestly? Mission accomplished.
