too much POV

Reads like a press release with opinionated language like "has been at the forefront where formal school education is concerned", "phenomenal increase", "well connected", "beautiful beaches", "fast and efficient", etc. wikipediatrix 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ras Al Khaimah

A recent edit/revert raises an interesting point. Ras Al Khaimah in English is three words, all starting in caps. That's in UAE media, government websites, road signs and all. The only usage of Ras al-Khaimah I can find derives in some way from Wikipedia. I'm suggesting a move, basically, to Ras Al Khaimah. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:31, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 August 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move. (closed by non-admin page mover) feminist (talk) 17:01, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ras al-Khaimah → Ras Al Khaimah – per above and also this attempt to change the title; this indeed seems to be the name that is most commonly used in English (the WP:COMMONNAME). Many reliable sources reporting on this place as a tourist destination. wbm1058 (talk) 09:03, 22 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 20:21, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support renaming it to Ras Al Khaimah. The Ras Al Khaimah Government spells it this way and so do most sources. Elspamo4 (talk) 20:50, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So can we sort of get on and do this? Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:31, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

No Rain in June?

It is strange Howcome RAK doesn't recieve any raindrop in June, whereas the other months it does? Last time I was there on June 21, 2019, it actually rained in RAK, wasn't that recorded?
