Emirate of Ajman, Administrative division in western Arabian Peninsula, United Arab Emirates.

The Emirate of Ajman spans 260 square kilometers along the Persian Gulf coast, forming part of the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan region.

The Al Nuaimi family established their governance in Ajman during the early 19th century, transforming the region from a pearling center into a modern emirate.

The Ajman Museum, located in an 18th-century fort, exhibits traditional artifacts and documents chronicling the development of this Persian Gulf territory.

The Ajman Free Zone, established in 1988, supports over 12,000 businesses through investment privileges and streamlined administrative procedures.

Ajman maintains two distinct inland exclaves: Manama, an agricultural region, and Masfout, known for marble quarrying and subsistence farming.
