located on the western coast of the United Arab Emirates, a short distance from Dubai
representing the northern flank of the Dubai - Sharjah - Ajman metropolitan area. |

Emirate with modern facilities and amenities. The Emirate is also well connected with the
rest of the U.A.E. by modern highways and road network. Yet the traditional way of life
has been preserved forming with the modern living environment a pleasant blend of the old
and the new and sophisticated. |

cleaner and less commercialised seashores offer excellent facilities for swimmers and
beach lovers. For bargain hunters, it is worth a visit to Ajman Souq, which is also
renowned for its architectural splendour. |

and manama are rich in agriculture and farming. Masfoot is surrounded by mountains in all
directions which provide a scenic backdrop to this region. |

Rulers, monuments, conventional industry, presentation of social life style and the
