RAK TRADITIONAL CAFE

Bar and caf

This establishment is the oldest shisha café in RAK. It was opened more than 40 years ago by Ali Ahmed al-Ghais, who after working as a fisherman and bricklayer in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, decided to try his luck as a coffee shop owner. Since Mr. Ghais' death, his son Adel has taken over. The place comes to life once the sun goes down, when the air gets a little cooler: the locals gather around a shisha to play backgammon, dominoes or cards, while sipping tea or hot coffee, often until late at night.
