அல் மனாமா அஜ்மான்: கோட்டைகள், அருங்காட்சியகம், ஹோட்டல்கள் மற்றும் செய்ய வேண்டியவை

அல் மனாமா is a small inland enclave of Ajman emirate, about 70 km east of Ajman city at the foot of the Hajar Mountains, on the Al Dhaid to Masafi road (E88). It is not the capital of Bahrain. Al Manama in Ajman is a quiet farming town known for its historic forts, the Manama Museum, green date palm farms, ghaf trees and wild honey. It is about an hour from Ajman city and makes an easy day trip from Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman, especially when you add nearby stops like the Masafi Friday Market and Al Dhaid.

முக்கிய எடுத்துக்காட்டுகள்

• Al Manama is an exclave of Ajman, meaning it sits away from Ajman city, surrounded by Sharjah and Fujairah land.
• Top sights are the Red Fort, the White Fort that houses the Manama Museum, Hassa Buweid Castle, Manama Museum Park and Al Bayyah Dam, plus the surrounding farms.
• The Manama Museum is being restored and expanded into a larger 13 room museum, and Ajman has made entry to its museums free until the end of 2026.
• It is a calm, rural place with no big resorts, so most visitors stay in Ajman city, Hatta or on the Fujairah coast.
• Famous nearby stops include the Masafi Friday Market, Masafi Fort, Al Dhaid and Masfout, the other Ajman enclave.
• The cooler months from November to March are the best time to visit.
• White Sky Travel can arrange a private day trip, hotels and UAE visas, with Tabby, Tamara மற்றும் ஐக்கிய அரபு அமீரக கடன் அட்டை தவணைகள் 12 மாதங்கள் வரை.

Where Is Al Manama in Ajman?

Ajman is the smallest emirate in the UAE, but it has two inland enclaves away from the coast: Al Manama in the north east and மஸ்ஃபௌட் அஜ்மான் near Hatta in the south. Al Manama lies on the plains below the Hajar Mountains, between அல் தைத் ஷார்ஜா and Masafi. According to Ajman Tourism, it is a quiet farming area surrounded by acacia, ghaf, sidr and simr trees that attract wild honeybees, which is why local honey from the area is so well known.

The enclave covers about 26 square kilometres and had around 5,800 residents in the 2017 census. In the 1920s and 1930s, Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi revived farming here by repairing the old falaj water channels and planting dates, citrus and papaya, and the area is still green with farms today. Around the main roundabout you will find cafeterias, a bakery, grocery shops and small services.

Places to Visit in Al Manama

Manama Museum (White Fort)

The Manama Museum is inside the White Fort, an early twentieth century fort that once served as a royal residence. It has a guard tower, an old well and date palms once watered by the falaj system, and its rooms have displayed old weapons, Bedouin jewellery and traditional handicrafts. In August 2026, the Ajman Government Media Office reported that the fort is being restored and turned into a 13 room museum around a central courtyard called Al Liwan, with rooms on Manama’s history, people, farming, environment, stamps and currency, traditional games, architecture and the Oman Coast Force. No reopening date has been announced yet, so message us on WhatsApp to check before you go. Ajman Tourism also lists it as one of the area’s highlights, and entry to Ajman’s museums is free until the end of 2026.

செங்கோட்டை

The Red Fort takes its name from the red plaster on its outer walls and is one of the most photographed forts in the UAE. It was once an official residence of Ajman’s ruling family. The fort originally had four rooms and two towers, and a third tower was added during a preservation project in the 1980s. Look for the sandalwood roof beams, the drinking water well beside the building and the animal enclosures in front, where oryx, gazelles and zebras are often seen. Opening is not always regular, and photography behind the fort is not allowed because it borders a military area.

Hassa Buweid Castle

Hassa Buweid Castle is a tower shaped fort built in 1976 by the late Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi on a rocky hill in Al Naseem village. Its name means “white stones”, after the hill it stands on. A stone stairway leads up to the tower, and the views over the Manama plains and the Hajar Mountains are lovely at sunset.

Manama Museum Park

Right next to the White Fort, Manama Museum Park has a small heritage village, a children’s play area and shaded gazebos for picnics. It usually opens in the late afternoon and hosts community events such as UAE National Day celebrations. Barbecues and pets are not allowed.

Al Naseem Nature Reserve and Al Bayyah Dam

Al Naseem Nature Reserve is a growing green area where thousands of native samar trees have been planted to protect local plants and wildlife. Nearby, Al Bayyah Dam is a favourite winter spot for birdwatchers, as migratory birds gather when there is water after the rains.

Farms, Ghaf Trees and Wild Honey

Drive slowly through the farm roads to see date palms, ghaf trees and seasonal crops. Honey from this area is prized across the UAE, so look out for local sellers along the main road.

Famous Places Near Al Manama
