Before you go

Ajman at a glance

Ajman is a coastal city on the Gulf between Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain, ruled by the Al Nuaimi family since 1816. It is smaller and quieter than its neighbors. Visitors come for its beach, corniche, old fort and the mangroves at Al Zorah.

Known for

  • Ajman Museum متحف عجمان

    Late-18th-century fort in the city center, a museum since 1991, with displays on pearl diving, old trades and finds from about 3000 BC.

  • Ajman Corniche and Beach كورنيش عجمان

    Seafront road and public beach within walking distance of Ajman Museum and the old souks.

  • Al Zorah Nature Reserve محمية الزوراء الطبيعية

    Mangrove creeks on the northern edge of the city, home to about 60 bird species, including flamingos, egrets and herons.

  • Souk Saleh سوق صالح

    Traditional market dating from the 1950s, across the central square from Ajman Museum and next to the Gold Souq.

  • Masfout مصفوت

    Ajman's mountain exclave bordering Hatta and Oman, with a hilltop fort restored in the 1940s and a mosque built in 1815.

Getting there

Ajman has no airport. Sharjah International (SHJ) is the closest, and Dubai International (DXB) is also nearby. Taxis run from both. Dubai RTA intercity buses run from Union Square and Etisalat stations in Dubai to Ajman bus station.

Getting around

The Ajman Transport Authority runs city buses and taxis, and abras (small boats) stop along the coast, including at Al Rashidiya. Most visitors use taxis or ride-hailing.

When to go

November to March, when daytime highs rarely pass 30 C. July and August are the hottest months, often above 40 C and humid. Most of the little rain falls in winter and spring. Ramadan dates move earlier each year.

Local tip

Ajman Museum, Souk Saleh and the Gold Souq face each other on the central square. All three are a short walk from the corniche.
