TOP-RATED TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN AJMAN
Ajman’s coastline is home to luxury hotels, each with their private patch of pristine white sand. Noted for some of the prettiest beaches in the United Arab Emirates, this is the place to come if you’re looking for serious relaxation time, with little to do except swim and soak up the sun. Non-guests can usually use the private hotel beaches and take advantage of the hotel facilities by paying a day-pass fee. These private beaches are Ajman’s best choices, as they offer excellent on-site amenities and fine strips of white sand. Otherwise, there’s a long stretch of public beach running along the rim of the town center. If you want a day of lazy sun lounging, Ajman’s beaches really can’t be beaten.

The northern side of Ajman Creek is home to the new Al-Zorah coastal development, which mixes luxury villa residential neighborhoods with beachfront hotel resorts and recreational facilities, including a golf course and yacht marina. For visitors not staying in the resorts here, though, the Al-Zorah Nature Reserve is the main attraction of a visit. This protected area of mangrove forest covers roughly two kilometers and is an important habitat for migratory birds, including flamingos. Highly informative guided kayaking tours of the mangrove forest are run from Al-Zorah’s marina by local company Quest for Adventure.

The Hajar Mountain towns of Manama (72 kilometers east from Ajman city) and Masfut (127 kilometers southeast from Ajman city) are both exclaves of the Emirate of Ajman. Today, Masfut is the more interesting destination, home to both the tiny watchtower of Masfut Fort, perched on the ridge above town, and with plenty of opportunity for hiking and cycling in the surrounding Hajar Mountain landscape. During summer, it’s also hugely popular with locals who simply want to escape the heat of the coast for the cooler temperatures of the mountains. The road trip to Masfut is enough of a reason to visit with the scenery changing from the bland, rock-pitted coastal plateau, to sand dunes and then to the Hajar foothills along the way.

The 18th-century fortress that was once Ajman’s first line of defense now houses the emirate’s museum. The ethnographical exhibit gallery here focuses on the traditional local lifestyle, with dioramas of typical day-to-day Emirati life before the oil boom. There’s also a small archaeological gallery, which despite its size displays a wealth of finds from Ajman’s nearby archaeological sites that will be of major interest to history fans. Much of the archaeological gallery is dedicated to artifacts hailing from the Mowaihat site on the outskirts of Ajman city, which was discovered in 1986 when workers were laying a new sewage pipe. A circular Umm al-Nar-type tomb was uncovered, and a rescue excavation commenced. Category: Culture, Heritage Attraction, Sightseeing Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here!

On the north side of Ajman creek, at Ajman Marina, the Dhow Yard is noted as the world’s largest dhow building center and one of the area’s most interesting sightseeing attractions. Dhows are built using traditional tools and manual skills that have been handed down through the generations, all without blueprints. Today dhows are more likely to be built for tourist cruise purposes and other recreational uses rather than as their original use as pearling boats and cargo ships, though these lateen-sailed boats are still used to transport cargo between ports in the UAE. The Dhow Yard in Ajman also crafts the speedsters that participate in the Dubai Powerboat meets. Category: Culture, Heritage Attraction, Sightseeing Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here!
