Ras Al Khaimah: More than 500 tourists from the Republic of Kazakhstan have been given free full-board stay in Ras Al Khaimah as they fail to return home due to flight disruptions.

In light of the current situation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) said that it would support and assist all Kazakhstan tourists that were unable to leave the Emirate last week due to airline connectivity issues in their home country. The Authority provided all those without a flight home complimentary full board accommodation, inclusive of food and beverage and other amenities in their current hotel until the situation improves and travel is once more possible.
