Shimal hard to find the first time but worth the visit if interested in archaeology
It took some locating But was well worth the time Could be better presented and protected It is an ancient kiln going back with the history of the region and earthen ware locally made and used Ras Al Khaimah is full of amazing history So much has been lost but much has been restored for all who want to remember where the emirates came from Valuing the past is important
