Ajman Corniche
A quiet seaside walk beside Dubai.

Ajman Corniche runs along the beach in the smallest emirate, with a wide promenade, clean sand, cafes and plenty of space to walk, cycle or sit by the water.
It is calmer and cheaper than the beaches of Dubai and Sharjah, and it gives a taste of a quieter, more local seaside.
Why it is a wonderA relaxed, low-cost beach day with open space and an easy pace.

Time needed1 to 3 hours
