Histoire

1816

Ajman Corniche's development is tied closely to the growth of Ajman city, which historically was a small coastal settlement ruled by the Al Bu Kharaiban Nuaimi family since 1816.

1971

Over time, Ajman evolved from a modest town with a single fortified building into a modern urban area within the UAE federation since 1971.

The Corniche area reflects this transformation, serving as a recreational waterfront that complements Ajman's expansion as part of the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan zone.

While the Corniche itself is a modern development, it sits on the historically significant coast of Ajman, which was noted in early 19th-century maritime surveys for its strategic location and pearl hunting activities.
