The origins of Ras Al Khaimah’s royal family mirrors that of Sharjah since both emirates are ruled by the same family! The Emir of Ras Al Khaimah, HH Sheikh Saud, received his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Political Science from the University of Michigan. He was appointed as the ruler of the emirate in 2010 after the death of his father. His son, HH Sheikh Mohammad is the Crown Prince and the Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah.
