Ras Rakan ({{lang-ar|رأس راكان}}) is the northernmost point in the Qatari Peninsula, located in Al Shamal.[1] It is the north-western point of an islet called Jazirat Ras Rakan, but as the channel between this islet and the mainland is not passable for boats, Jazirat Ras Rakan may be regarded as forming the northern extremity of the promontory.[2]

Location

The islet is nearly 1 ½ miles from the shore, and may be reached by wading through low water. The northernmost town of Qatar, Ar Ru'ays, lies 2 ½ miles south-east from the islet.[2] If approached at from a northward direction, Ar Ru'ays becomes visible before Ras Rakan is spotted.[3]

Description

Jazirat Ras Rakkan is a very low, T-shaped islet, with tufts of grass on it.[2] There are some small mangroves on the southern side of it.[4] It is nearly 2 miles in length east to west, and extremely narrow. The T-head, at its western end, is 1 mile long.[2]

Hydrology

In a 2010 survey of Ras Rakan's coastal waters conducted by the Qatar Statistics Authority, it was found that its average depth was {{convert|3.5|meters}} and its average pH was 7.74. Furthermore, the waters had a salinity of 48.18 psu, an average temperature of 19.61°C and 4.86 mg/L of dissolved oxygen.[5]
