Ajman Holidays

Where is Ajman? Ajman is located on the west coast of the United Arab Emirates. It is the smallest of the emirates and is just 30-minutes from Dubai.

What to do in Ajman While it's much quieter than its neighbours, Ajman is full of delightful surprises. As well as blissful relaxation on pristine beaches and shopping for international brands at the modern City Centre Ajman mall, there are plenty of unique things to do in Ajman. Go kayaking with Quest for Adventures in the mangroves and lagoons of the Al Zorah Nature Reserve – a playground for fish that jump and birdlife like flamingo and heron – or tee off at the nearby 18-hole championship golf course.

Shopping Head to the Gold Souk for beautiful jewellery and the refurbished Saleh Souk for traditional tailoring, or experience dining that's a little different at Ajman Qubes, a concept space where shipping containers have been repurposed into restaurants and cafés.

Ajman activities and entertainment Out on the water, you can take on watersports with Quest for Adventures including wakeboarding, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding – or charter a yacht for a luxurious day out at sea. The new Al Zorah Marina 1 is a great venue with plenty of entertainment for all ages. Take a pearl dhow excursion and learn about the region's pearl diving history in the mangroves on a traditional boat ride and take home a fresh oyster pearl as a souvenir.

Getting around Ajman’s compact size makes walking one of the easiest ways to get around. The beachfront beaches are around 15 minutes’ walk from the main Al Bustan area where you’ll find Ajman Museum and the traditional and gold souks. Taxis are a popular and generally inexpensive way to get around, particularly for longer distances or if you’re visiting in the summer when temperatures are too hot for walking. Hotels and resorts often run complimentary shuttle services to and from Dubai via Sharjah so you can visit Sharjah’s Blue Souk and Dubai’s major sights.
