The beautiful Emirate of Ajman sits just north of Sharjah and is hallmarked by its rows of pretty palm-lined beaches and the tranquil Corniche. It may be the smallest Emirate but that doesn’t hold Ajman back. It offers a picturesque retreat while boasting an intriguing museum and one of the last-remaining dhow-building yards. It has become a business hub.
Take a cruise on a dhow, a traditional Arab sailing vessel, which lets you explore Ajman from the water. The tour covers significant heritage sites and points of interest, giving you a glimpse into the region’s rich and diverse history. On or off a dhow, places to visit include King Faisal Mosque, The Rulers Old Palace and The Natural History Museum.The busy Corniche is a popular haunt for locals and visitors alike in Ajman, offering a wealth of activities including cycling, horseback riding and trekking. Alternatively, take some time to yourself to watch the sun set over the stunning beaches.
