Al Hamraniyah (Arabic: الحمرانية) is a settlement and agricultural area in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, immediately to the West of Ras Al Khaimah International Airport.
Hamraniyah is a popular area for birdwatching, and the only place in the UAE where European Bee-eater, European Roller, Common Starling and Spanish Sparrows have been found breeding. It is visited by a wide variety of migratory bird species.[1] It is also an archaeological site, with digs taking place after further exploration of the area was called for by Ras Al Khaimah Ruler Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi.[2]
