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.
