Frequently asked questions
Yes. Between Al Zorah’s beach and mangroves, the Corniche, City Centre Ajman, the museum and a beachfront brunch, you can fill a relaxed weekend easily, and with less crowding than the bigger emirates.
Go early or late for the beach, and fill the middle of the day indoors. City Centre Ajman, the cinema and Magic Planet, the museum and an air-conditioned resort brunch all work well in the heat.
Less than you might expect. Public beaches are free, a mangrove kayak tour runs around AED 95 to AED 175 per person, and brunches are noticeably cheaper than comparable Dubai venues.
Very much so. The shallow calm beaches, the mall entertainment, the easy parking and the family-friendly resort brunches make it one of the more relaxed family weekends in the UAE.
