Fuel prices in Ajman are exactly the same as everywhere else in the UAE. They are set once a month at a national level, so what you pay at a pump in Ajman is identical to Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi. Here are the current rates, where they come from and where to fill up around the emirate.
Petrol and diesel prices in Ajman this month
These are the rates for May 2026, per litre:
| Fuel grade | Price per litre |
|---|---|
| Super 98 | AED 3.66 |
| Special 95 | AED 3.55 |

How UAE fuel prices are set
Since 2015, UAE fuel prices have been deregulated and reviewed every month by the country’s fuel price committee, broadly tracking global oil prices. New rates take effect on the first of each month and stay fixed until the next review, so there are no daily swings to keep an eye on, just one change to note at the start of the month.
Is petrol cheaper in Ajman than Dubai?
No. Because the price is set nationally, a litre costs the same in Ajman as it does anywhere else in the UAE. There is no cheaper emirate to fill up in, so fill up wherever is convenient.
Where to fill up in Ajman
You will find the main operators across the emirate, including ADNOC, ENOC, EPPCO and Emarat stations along the major roads and near the Corniche. Prices are identical between them, so it comes down to whichever is on your route.
WOW-Ajman Expert Tip: Fill up before a long drive rather than waiting until the tank is low. Stations can get busy at the start and end of the day, and a full tank saves you a detour mid-journey.
