Ajman Holidays

With year-round sunshine and breathtaking beaches, Ajman holidays are becoming increasingly popular for travellers who want to explore more of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In particular, this emirate has plenty to offer those looking for a relaxing and serene experience in this thriving and bustling area of the world.

As with many Middle Eastern countries, the customs can be pretty different from what you are used to back home. From different laws around drinking to what is appropriate to wear outside and how to conduct yourself, it's best to familiarise yourself with the local rules before you travel.

One of the most significant changes for tourists is that the weekend runs from Friday to Saturday, and Thursday is a half day for many. This means that many public services and businesses will operate differently over these days. As an Islamic country, it's also important to be aware of the significance of religion in this part of the world. For example, activity will often be much quieter on Friday mornings, though most businesses will be open after the mosque services.

Things can change significantly during Ramadan, with many restaurants closed during the day. In addition, many shops and offices will only stay open until the early afternoon, allowing people to go home for the last few hours of their fast.

If this will interfere with your travel plans, then it's best to check that your trip doesn't coincide with the month-long event.

Top 5 Things To Do

Ajman Museum - The 18th-century fortress that was once Ajman's first line of defense is now the city's museum. The exhibits here focus on the traditional local lifestyle, with dioramas of typical day-to-day life as well as archaeological finds from nearby sites. There is an excellent display of Emirati weapons and a manuscript exhibit.

As well as being the town's main stronghold, the fort was once used as the ruler's palace and later as the location for the city police station. The fort's major archaeological features are its two wind towers, two watchtowers, and grand gateway now fronted by two cannons.

Dreamland Aqua Park - This huge entertainment complex has more than 25 attractions and is extremely popular with families. Among the many things to do here are aquatic themed rides, children's wading pools, twisters, a crazy river and kamikaze ride, and a giant wave pool. In the blistering heat of summer, both locals and tourists flock here with their children to get some respite from the sun. Shaded palm gardens dot the area, and a rather over-the-top fake roaring volcano surrounded by replicas of wild animals is sure to be a winner with the kids.

Manama and Masfut - Within easy reach of Ajman city is the Hajar Mountain towns of Manama and Masfut. Manama has a small fort, which is currently being converted into a museum dedicated to local history, and is the closest town to the new Al Naseem Nature Reserve (still in development and not open to the public). Masfut is a good place to get your hiking boots on and take a mountain walk. The road to Masfut, with the scenery changing from dunes to the Hajar foothills, is one of the biggest attractions of a trip here, as is the temperature, which is always cooler than the coast.

Mowaihat - The Mowaihat archaeological site is located on the outskirts of Ajman city. It 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. Numerous examples of soft-stone and painted Umm al-Nar ceramic vessels were uncovered, as well as more than 3,000 beads, two stamp seals, a number of copper implements, and the remains of several dozen people. At the time of its discovery, the Mowaihat tombwas the first evidence of Umm al-Nar occupation in the Northern Emirates.
