In this article, we investigate several properties of high-dimensional random Apollonian networks (HDRANs), including two types of degree profiles, the small-world effect (clustering property), sparsity, and three distance-based metrics. The characterizations of degree profiles are based on several rigorous mathematical and probabilistic methods, such as a two-dimensional mathematical induction, analytic combinatorics, and Pólya urns, etc. The small-world property is uncovered by a well-developed measure---local clustering coefficient, and the sparsity is assessed by a proposed Gini index. Finally, we look into three distance-based properties; they are total depth, diameter and Wiener index.
