Ras Al Khaimah is a city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates. It is pronounced as two proper nouns in sequence, with 'Ras' sounding like /rɑːs/ or /ræs/ and 'Al Khaimah' as a two-word name (/ɑːl xɑːɪˈmaː/ in many pronunciations). The overall phrase is used in formal and informal contexts when naming the emirate or its capital. The pronunciation preserves the Arabic-derived elements while adapting to English phonotactics.
