Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam Wa RAhmatullah wa Barakaatouh.

From Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah, yes.. it is a travel, you may shorten and combine your prayers.

In regards to Taraweeh or shortening the prayers while you are there in a safe and resting mode, i would advise you to pray your taraweeh as you are not moving. But as a traveller, you still have a choice of praying or no. Put in mind, taraweeh is a mustahab and not compulsory.

Allah knows best
