Between 1959 and 1961 there were no paved roads in the Trucial States, so there was very little habitation along the NE coast. The TOS camp at Al Khatt was the only recognised strip northeast of Sharjah that I know of at that time. I did land near Ras al Khaimah village once, on a flat area a couple of miles inland. I'm sure there were no marking. We were delivering half a dozen TOS officers for lunch with a Dutch couple who had just started a horticultural experiment growing tomatoes and vegetables.
