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!
