Ajman, Coastal city in United Arab Emirates.
The fifth largest city in the UAE extends along the Persian Gulf coast, bordered predominantly by the emirate of Sharjah.
The establishment of Ajman's modern governance dates to 1816 when Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi gained control from the Al Bu Shamis Nuaimi tribe.
The name of the city originates from the Arabic word 'ajman', referring to the Persian inhabitants who settled in this region centuries ago.
The Ajman Free Zone accommodates international companies and serves as a central hub for business operations in the northern emirates.
Despite being the smallest emirate in the UAE, Ajman maintains three separate geographical sections: the main coastal area, Al-Manamah, and Masfut.
