Getting here
18 km south of the city, and parking is free
Ras Al Khaimah International Airport sits on Digdaga Road, about 18 km south of the city. You can drive, take a free coach from four emirates, or come by taxi — and leaving the car here costs nothing.

What it costs
Reaching this airport is deliberately cheap
Parking is free at both terminals and the coach is free to passengers from four emirates. That is a real difference in the cost of a trip, not an operational footnote.

The coaches run towards the airport only. Coming back is by taxi or your own arrangement.
Most airports in the region turn parking into a revenue line and leave ground access to the market. Ras Al Khaimah does neither: you park free directly in front of the building, and you board a free coach from Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman or Umm Al Quwain on the evening of your flight. The one thing published with no fixed table is the taxi fare — which is why the taxi page tells you how to settle it rather than quoting a guess.
