Understand

One of the poorer emirates, Ajman is mostly known for its cheap rents compared to Dubai and Sharjah. Consequently, part of the population that lives there is working in Dubai. The population of Ajman is mainly composed of students, expatriates from Asian countries and a few locals. Otherwise it’s one of the least attractive places to visit in the U.A.E. However, it’s also a cheap place to stay if you can’t afford Dubai or Sharjah.

Get in

Get around

taxis: Just down from the Emirates Plaza hotel there is a taxi stand. However, if you are planning to got farther north along the coast you`ll have to go to the taxi stand at the main roundabout on the highway just out of town. Otherwise, you can walk around and easely catch one.
