Ras Al Khaimah is home to a population of over 400,000 residents, a number that has grown significantly in recent years as the emirate expands its tourism, manufacturing, and residential sectors.

Tips for Finding a Pharmacy Near You in RAK
Search Google Maps for real-time hours. Pharmacy hours in RAK can change. Before making a trip at night, search the pharmacy name on Google Maps to see its current status and confirm whether it is open right now.
Use delivery apps. Both Aster Pharmacy and LIFE Pharmacy offer delivery through their own apps as well as platforms like Talabat. If you need medicine delivered at night and cannot travel, this is a practical option for many common OTC products.
Hospitals as a last resort. If no pharmacy is reachable and you need urgent medication, RAK Hospital (Saqr Hospital) and Saif Bin Gobash Hospital both have 24-hour casualty departments that can provide emergency medications.
Carry your prescription. Many medications in the UAE, including common antibiotics and some painkillers, require a valid prescription. Carrying your prescription avoids delays, especially at night.
