Hotels in Ajman

Staying in Ajman

The emirate's city is compact. The beach runs along its seaward edge, with the hotels in a line facing the Gulf and the corniche road behind them. Inland are the souk, the old fort that now houses the museum, and the residential districts that merge into Sharjah without any visible border. The creek at the city's southern end has a marina and the boatyards where wooden dhows are still built by hand. Ajman has no commercial airport, so arrivals fly into Sharjah or Dubai and drive north along the coast. The route from Dubai passes through Sharjah's city streets, which are congested at peak times, so a driver booked for your flight time saves a wait at the hotel end. Tell the driver the hotel's name; the beachfront properties are close together and easy to confuse. The decision in Ajman is beach or not. The beachfront hotels have the sea and the sunsets. The hotels inland and on the creek are better placed for the road to Dubai and for anyone here to work. If your trip is mostly day trips out, stay at the southern end nearer Sharjah, where the roads out of the emirate begin.
