Sports and leisure activities Ajman City

Opened in 2015, it is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Emirates! A 45 minute drive from Dubai, this par 72 designed by Niklaus Design is in the middle of mangroves and it is not uncommon to see several species of migratory birds and pink flamingos, but what makes this course so special is the tide which completely changes the difficulty and outcome of some shots leaving your ball either in the water at high tide or in the wet sand at low tide. It can only be played by cart.

Camel racing is part of the country's heritage and is very popular with the royal families and the emirates. Today, robot jockeys have replaced the children who once rode the camels. The owner follows the race in a car on a circuit parallel to the camelodrome and controls either the whip or the tension of the reins from a distance. To attend, don't look for the schedule, it doesn't exist! Go early in the morning on Fridays between November and March!

This enclave, home to some 8,900 inhabitants and located 126 kilometers from Ajman in the heart of the al Hajar mountains, offers several hiking and mountain bike trails. Several levels of difficulty are proposed. This should enable everyone to enjoy a mountain getaway, but we would remind you that it is essential to be well prepared for these hikes and above all to avoid rainy days.

As it is forbidden to explore the mangroves without a certified guide, here is an excellent company that can take you there. Several trips are possible: the daytime kayak trip lasts about 2 hours and will bring you and your guide close to birds such as flamingos, herons, ospreys and many others. The other trip is by night and it is a unique and fascinating experience to observe the night life of the mangrove inhabitants especially on full moon nights. Electric canoe tour with guide also available.
