Archaeology
30 years ago in 1968 Beatrice de Cardi and Brian Doe carried out a survey of archaeological sites in the Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah. H.H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed al-Qasimi, Ruler of Ras al-Khaimah, who had always been interested in a better understanding of the history of the emirate, supported their work from the beginning and invited them to continue in the following years. These surveys were the foundation of the Archaeology of Ras al-Khaimah.
