Ajman At a grand total of 250 square kilometre (95 sq miles), Ajman is the smallest of the emirates and this is emirate’s greatest appeal. Its beautiful16km stretch of shoreline is best enjoyed with a stroll along the corniche, and its sandy beaches are heavenly for those who want to lie out under the sun or take a dip in the warm Gulf waters. Indeed, the Gulf and the coastline are important here and Ajman is renowned as one of the largest dhow building centres in the region. While mainly modern boats emerge from the yards these days, you may catch sight of a traditionally built wooden boat sailing out of the harbour. Further inland, the remote enclaves of Manama and Masfout enjoy the stunning backdrop of the Hajar Mountains, and provide an escape from the city and the summer heat.
