Covering just 260 square kilometers and with a population 373,000, Ajman is the
smallest of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, alongside Abu
Dhabi (the country’s capital), Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al

and Masfout, located in the south of the UAE near Hatta.
The emirate of Ajman is ruled by His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi,
Member of the Supreme Council of the Union and Ruler of Ajman – a descendant of
the Al Nuaim tribe, which can be traced back to three centuries before the life of
Prophet Mohammad.
