Visiting Ajman

Ajman is one of the most diverse of the seven United Arab Emirates, awash with natural attractions, places of cultural and historical interest and idyllic beaches, complemented by a world-class tourism infrastructure, from luxury hotels operated by global brands to modern and efficient transport services. For these and many more reasons, the emirate has forged a reputation as a safe, peaceful and family-friendly destination, as well as a hub for romance, sport, relaxation and adventure, offering “something for everyone”.

From luxurious beachfront hotels to well-equipped city centre apartments, there’s a wide range of accommodation available in Ajman. Hotels & Hotel Apartments are located either on their own stretch of private natural sandy beach, along the Corniche or in the city. Note: Most of the hotels run free daily shuttle bus services to Dubai.

Given the size of Ajman, many attractions are within a short walking distance from the hotels. Whether golf is your game, history and culture your passion, or you just love hitting the beach, Ajman has plenty of fun activities for you. From sandy beaches and desert dunes to mangrove forests and craggy mountains, Ajman has a diverse landscape that supports a surprising amount of flora and fauna.

With a fascinating collection of artefacts housed in a beautifully restored fort, Ajman Museum is one of the most visited historical attractions in the emirate. Ajman Museum is the emirate’s foremost museum illustrating life as it once was. The 18th-century fort served as the ruler’s residence until 1970, before it was converted into a museum a decade later.

With one million square metres of natural mangrove forest, Al Zorah Nature Reserve is a haven for bird and marine life. Al Zorah Nature Reserve is a vibrant ecosystem made up of mangroves, turquoise lagoons and sandy beaches, which is home to nearly 60 species of bird including pink flamingo, egret and heron.

Cradled by the Hajar Mountains, the tiny landlocked enclave of Masfout is a hiker’s dream and makes for a refreshing escape from the summer city heat. Known for its fertile agricultural land and high-quality marble, Masfout is in the south of the UAE near Hatta, a 90-minute drive from Ajman city. Its elevated altitude brings cooler temperatures and the rugged backdrop attracts outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Malls are not just for shopping in the UAE. They’re also entertainment destinations, with restaurants, cinemas and family-friendly activities – Ajman City Centre Mall and Dana Mall are no exceptions.

The variety of cuisine available in Ajman is one of the highlights of a trip to the emirate. From fine dining experiences to quick bites in between sightseeing and shopping, Ajman has a ton of offerings to suit both your palate and pocket.

Ajman is strategically well located, close to five International Airports with a short 15-minute journey from Sharjah International Airport, 30 minutes from Dubai International Airport, and just over two hours from Abu Dhabi International Airport. The Expo 2020 site is only a one-hour drive from most of Ajman’s hotels & hotel apartments.
