Ajman Museum

Ajman Museum is a fortress museum in Ajman, United Arab Emirates, displaying collections of artifacts, traditional weapons, and cultural objects. The exhibition rooms are arranged around a central courtyard and provide an overview of various aspects of local history and culture.

The fortress was built in the 18th century as a defensive structure and served as the ruler's residence until 1970. It was then converted into a police station before becoming a museum.

The displays show how Emiratis lived through sections about pearl diving, manuscripts, traditional clothing, and regional archaeological finds.

The museum is easy to walk through and rooms are clearly marked so visitors can navigate without difficulty. It is advisable to wear comfortable clothing since you will move between several rooms.

A special collection comes from the Al Muwaihat cemetery and displays pottery and burial items over 5,000 years old. These findings offer insights into early burial practices and the way of life of people who lived in the region long before modern times.
