Cổng Masfout Ajman: Danh lam thắng cảnh mới, những việc nên làm và nơi lưu trú.

Cổng Masfout is the landmark entrance to Masfout, the mountain village of Ajman tucked into the Hajar Mountains about 800 metres above sea level and around 10 minutes from Hatta. His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Ruler of Ajman, inaugurated the new gate in February 2026. It stands 16 metres tall, covers about 500 square metres and has a 40 metre architectural walkway that links two mountains, connecting the Masfout Museum with the historic Al Boma Tower. It replaces the original stone pillar gate from 1961 and is now the first photo stop for anyone visiting Masfout, which UN Tourism recognised as one of the Best Tourism Villages of 2025.

This guide covers what Masfout Gate is, where it is, how to get there, places to visit nearby, hotels and resorts close by, and how White Sky Travel and Tourism can plan the trip for you.

Masfout Gate at a Glance

What Is Masfout Gate?

For decades, visitors arriving in Masfout were welcomed by two simple stone pillars joined by an Arabic sign. Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi commissioned that first gate in 1961, and it became a well known local monument.

The new Masfout Gate keeps that welcoming role but on a much bigger scale. It was built under the UAE villages development initiative, led by the Emirates Council for Balanced Development together with Ajman Municipality and Planning Department. The design blends traditional Emirati elements with modern architecture, and the walkway gives hikers a scenic route between the Masfout Museum and Al Boma Tower. Just days after opening, the gate featured on the route of the UAE Tour 2026 cycling race, when stage four passed through Masfout. Gulf News reported on the opening as part of Ajman’s push to grow mountain tourism.

Where Is Masfout Gate Located?

Masfout Gate sits at the main entrance to Masfout village, at the foot of the Masfout Castle mountain, on the Hatta road (E44) side of the village. Masfout itself is an enclave of Ajman, about 120 km from Ajman city, surrounded by the Hajar Mountains, Hatta in Dubai and the Omani border. You do not cross any border to see the gate, since Masfout is fully part of the UAE.

How to Get to Masfout Gate

Driving is the easiest way to reach Masfout Gate, since there is no direct public transport for tourists. Visit Ajman recommends leaving Ajman city on Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Street, joining Emirates Road and then following the Sharjah Kalba Road (E102) to Masfout.

Điều tốt để biết: The direct Al Madam to Hatta stretch of the E44 passes through Omani territory and has long been limited to GCC nationals, so other residents and tourists should use the E102 route. Road rules can change, so our team will share the best route when you book.

Prefer not to drive the mountain roads? White Sky can arrange a private car with driver from Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman as part of our Các tour du lịch Các Tiểu vương quốc Ả Rập Thống nhất.

Masfout Gate is the perfect welcome to one of the most charming mountain villages in the UAE. Opened in February 2026, it turns a simple 1961 landmark into a striking gateway with a walkway between the Masfout Museum and Al Boma Tower. Pair it with Masfout Castle, Al Khileban Dam, the oasis and nearby Hatta for a full day out, or stay a night in a Hatta lodge. The National explains why Masfout now attracts visitors from across the country.
