Ajman holidays - An authentic Arabic experience

A laidback destination with plenty to experience

Nestled along the west coast of the UAE, Ajman may be the smallest of the seven emirates, but it certainly packs a punch. This charming destination offers the best of both worlds, blending relaxation with exciting city amenities to create an all-round Middle Eastern getaway.

Stroll along the Corniche in the cooler months and you’ll likely see local families getting together for a delightful BBQ or picnic on the promenade. A 4km stretch of casual restaurants and entertainment, the Corniche is a wonderful place to see how the locals live and socialise, all the while enjoying the beautiful coastline views. There’s a gorgeous sheltered tidal pool nearby too, and the esplanade truly comes to life when the sun goes down.

From the Corniche, wander further into the city for a bit of shopping, a lot of eating, and a few fascinating museums. The Ajman National Museum, held in one of the oldest forts in the UAE, offers an insightful look into Ajman’s rich past, with archaeological exhibitions, relics, weaponry and manuscripts telling the interesting tale.

Though the ambience here is laidback and chilled, the hotels in Ajman embrace luxury and style much like the rest of the UAE. Whilst perhaps the accommodation is modern and lavish, there are still plenty of traditional pastimes to experience too, including camel racing and world-class golfing. 

During Ramadan (approximately 10 March-9 April 2024 and 28 February–30 March 2025), Eid Al Adha (approximately 16 June-20 June 2024 and 6 June-10 June 2025) and Eid Al Fitr (approximately 9 April-10 April 2024 and 31 March-1 April 2025), there may be some restrictions on drinking and dining. However, you'll still have plenty of dining options - speak to your travel consultant for more information.
