Abstract: We illustrate the role of non-Abelian T-duality in string theory with emphasis on backgrounds with non-vanishing Ramond flux fields. We discuss generic features such as the fate of geometric isometries and of supersymmetry. We present important examples in the gauge/gravity correspondence, that is AdS_3 X S^3 X T^4 and AdS_5 X S^5$. In conjunction, we comment on possible integrable structures in the T-dual theory.
