Classic Taxis for Nostalgic Travel Experiences

Traditional Taxis Offer New Experience in Ras Al Khaimah Starting December 12th

Ras Al Khaimah will soon offer a new tourism experience that serves not only as transportation but also as a cultural time travel opportunity for visitors to the Emirate. The Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA) has announced the launch of its new Classic Taxi Service from December 12th, 2025, providing evening tours with classic, heritage-inspired vehicles across the city’s popular tourist spots.

A Unique Experience in Classic Style

These new taxis are not ordinary vehicles. With their classic design and stylish appearance, they evoke the cultural heritage of the Emirate while offering modern comfort to passengers. Operating daily from 4 PM to 10 PM, they allow visitors to explore Ras Al Khaimah's main attractions in a cozy setting after sunset.

Designated Routes for Tourism

The classic taxis will run on predetermined routes. One main route will service the interior of Al Marjan Island, ensuring easy travel between various parts of the resort area. Additionally, a connecting line between Al Marjan Island and Al Qawasim Corniche will be established, offering service in both directions. The third primary route runs along the Al Qawasim Corniche, one of Ras Al Khaimah’s most popular waterfront promenades.

The designated network aims to facilitate smooth transportation between key leisure and tourist sites while making the journey itself an experience thanks to the authentic atmosphere of the vehicles.

Integration of Tourism and Transportation

The introduction of the Classic Taxi Service signifies more than just a new transport option; it is part of a conscious effort to build Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism identity. The Emirate aims to offer diverse experiences to visitors, incorporating transportation as an experiential element.

The new service also contributes to showcasing the city’s cultural values, as the classic taxis transport passengers back to a different era not only through their looks but also their ambiance, while providing an up-to-date, safe, and sustainable transportation solution.

Mobility Developments for the Future

The introduction of classic taxis in Ras Al Khaimah is not only a tribute to the past but also a vision of the future where transportation is an experience rather than just a necessity. RAKTA aims to adapt the Emirate’s transportation system to the changing needs of residents and visitors, introducing new services that reflect local cultural values and modern technological expectations.

The classic taxi project exemplifies this vision, offering a practical solution for evening transportation while adding aesthetic and touristic value.

New Experiences Await Visitors

The introduction of these vehicles is expected to attract interest from both tourists and locals. Visitors to Ras Al Khaimah will have another opportunity to explore the Emirate from a new perspective, from beachside promenades to island resorts, in a timeless, nostalgic atmosphere.

The evening scheduled rides are particularly beneficial, as the weather becomes more pleasant after sunset and the city lights create a unique atmosphere, enhanced by the classic vehicles.

Summary

The Classic Taxi Service introduced by Ras Al Khaimah is an excellent example of blending tradition with modernity, functionality with experience. Launching on December 12th, the service is expected to add a new dimension to local transportation while contributing to the execution of the Emirate’s tourism strategy.

The initiative serves not just practical purposes but also aims to strengthen Ras Al Khaimah’s cultural identity and welcoming spirit. With the new taxis, travel becomes more than just a change of location – it’s a journey through time bringing every passenger closer to the Emirate’s heritage.

As the area develops, it becomes increasingly important that such services meet mobility needs while adding unique character to the cityscape. The classic taxis do just that, symbolizing the convergence of tourism, culture, and transportation.

Recommended for those wishing to explore Ras Al Khaimah with fresh eyes – stylishly, historically, and comfortably.
