Ajman is the smallest of the seven emirates and is centrally located on the western coast of the United Arab Emirates. Ajman enjoys being located in the middle of the Emirates as a whole. To give you an idea the average time to get to Dubai in rush hour is of 1/3 of an hour or less. Otherwise, only 20 minutes!

 

Taxis are really easy to find and are easy to get around using them. of course it can be used to get to other emirates too. Look for the unmetered Ajman taxi- by offer cheaper prices than the offical metered ones e.g. 10 dirhams to Sharja, 40 dirhams to Dubai(best during the peak times.)

Look at for shared taxis that wait for 4 people to come and take the taxi, where you pay 10 dirhams to dubai when 4 people are sharing the taxi. These are "unofficial" taxis, located in the Somali area of Ajman.

 

Alcohol is allowed in Ajman and is available easily at hotels and restaurants.

Tap water is considered ok but it has a slightly salted taste. The obvious reason is that desalination plants are used to provide tap water. More to the point, you can safely use it to brush your teeth and prepare tea.

Bottled water is also available in any store around town.

The famous "Hole In The Wall" - located next to the Kempinski Hotel Ajman - was one of the few liquor shops in Ajman. Now moved down the street near the Beach Resort. It is NOT closed.
