Al Jazirah Al Hamra is one of the most important tourist attractions in Ras Al Khaimah as it has a special nature that made it a haven for lovers of exploration and adventure, as the island is completely deserted except from some old houses bearing the names of its old residents, most of whom were merchants.
Because of the abandonment of the people of the island to her about fifty years ago without a clear reason, some imaginations have been woven around this island, such as being inhabited by jinn and imps.
Due to the special nature of the place, Al Hamra Island is considered one of the most important tourist attractions in the entire Emirates.
