The Emirate of Ajman is situated on the coast of the Arabian Gulf, between the emirates of Umm Al Quwain and Sharjah.

Ajman museum is housed in an old fort which was a rulers palace until 1970.

It is a small emirate in terms of its physical size, covering about 259 square kilometres, which is equivalent to 0.3 per cent of the country's total area, excluding the islands.

The town of Ajman, the capital of the emirate, lies on the coast of the Arabian Gulf and has an historic fort that has been recently renovated housing a fascinating museum.

The two major regions in the emirate are Masfout, an agricultural village, lying in the mountains at a distance of 110 kilometres to the South east of the city, and Manama located 60 kilometres to the east.

The emirate enjoys sunshine and golden beaches.
