Explore historical sites and relax on the beach
Whether browsing the city’s popular shopping mall, unwinding on the beach or kayaking through the mangroves, the small state of Ajman makes for a pleasant stop on your United Arab Emirates trip. The city itself is a cluster of tall modern building with white sand beaches separating it from the Persian Gulf, swaying palm trees dotting the boundary between land and sea.
Known for its historical sights, some of the highlights here include the Dhow Yard, Ajman Museum and Al Muwayhat. Ajman’s history dates back to around 3000 BC, and if you go exploring you’ll learn more about ancient burial sites and excavations which uncovered artefacts like clay vessels. Some of these archaeological finds are on display at the Ajman Museum.
You’ll find some of the UAE’s best beaches along this stretch of coastline. Stroll along the corniche, popping into souks and cafes along the way, or dig your toes into the white sands and paddle in the refreshing shallows. Spend even more time outdoors and venture into the mangrove forests of Al Zorah Nature Reserve and discover a wide variety of bird and marine life.
