OK let me
start with wiping of the myth that Ajman is a village and a distant city. To be
very specific, it takes only 13 minutes of drive from Dubai Airport to reach
Ajman. You might find it funny but some of my friend have an impression that I
live on a distant island. I have always been proud of the fact that I was born
in this beautiful city and this city has never disappointed me.
I have lived
here for almost 33 years and this is how I would summarize:
1) Ajman can be easily nominated for
having the best beach in Gulf (you don’t need to agree with me but I would
still rate it the best. The foreign tourists vouched for me already). The
beach has all the MNC’s and fast food joint that you can think of.
2) The fancy yacht you see in
Jumeirah, Marina and Festival City, most of them are manufactured in Ajman. For
years, Ajman has been the choice for yacht manufacturers. Now that’s something
to be proud of.
3) It is a home for biggest 5 Star
Luxury Hotel Brands such has Ramada, Kempinski, Ajman Saray, Fairmont, Ajman
Palace Hotel and the list goes on. They are situated in a single stretch!
4) A newly made Corniche at the end
of Ajman Beach and it has a stretch of 1.5 kms jogging track (ref Image). The
place is so beautiful, you have to see it to believe it.

5) You will find every traffic light
will have a digital counter. You are informed well in advance on how long you
have to spend on that particular light. It also gives drivers the sense of
safety while driving. I am sure ladies would love to drive in Ajman.
6) People travel to Mamzar to have
special TEA at Filli. In Ajman, at every 100 meters, you will find a tea shop
where you can find similar taste and 20 different types of innovative TEA.
7) You can never give excuse of
traffic for not reaching on time. Even in the worst of traffic, you can still
exit in 15mins. That’s Ouch for lazy bummers!
8) The construction of Ajman International Airport is on full flow. Yes! Ajman is set to host about two
million passengers per year. Take that for people who thought it was a village!
