There are 2 main airlines Qatar & Emirates.
Emirates reaches Dubai which is 1 hour drive away from Al Hamra, Ras Al Khaimah.
Qatar reaches Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) airport directly.
The 1st trick is RAK airport is also about half hour away from Al Hamra.
The 2nd trick is although Qatar has flights to RAK but it stops over Qatar or Dubai. The waiting time during flight transfer is usually more than 5 hours.
So unless you have special plan in Qatar or Dubai airport, then one should always take direct flight to Dubai and then take a taxi to Al Hamra.
Taxi could be found at the left end of the airport. There is no need to buy any coupon. Just ask around, walk out and hop on a taxi. Most drivers are genuinely honest but not everyone know the place you are going. So do some homework, write down a few more names or landmark of the places you are going.
Taxi fare costed me around AED 200. Charges are by meter so there is no negotiation needed.
Dubai Airport
a grand place but not really fully utilized
Emirates on flight meal - beer and wine available
Emirates flight info - full details, they even a a camera watching out from the plane
Emirates in flight entertainment, comes with both touch screen and a handheld devices although I am not sure why you need both, I suppose some people just want music and hates watching screen?
