Moving between Mina Al Arab and nearby areas
Short hops inside Ras Al Khaimah are some of the most common work we do here. Mina Al Arab borders Al Jazeera Al Hamra, Al Hamra Village, RAK Economic Zone (RAKEZ) and Al Marjan Island, and a move between any two of those is normally a single day because the drive is minutes rather than hours. The variable is the access at each end, not the distance: a gate pass is needed at each end, and communities that cap truck size force a second run with a smaller vehicle.
