Ajman (Arabic: ‫' عجمان‬Aǧmān; Gulf Arabic: ‫ ع يمان‬ʿYmān) is the capital of the emirate of Ajman in the
United Arab Emirates. It is the fifth-largest city in UAE after Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Al Ain.
Located along the Persian Gulf, it is engulfed by the larger emirate of Sharjah in territory.
Etymology
The word Ajman comes from Arabic ‫( اع ْجمان‬ʕajmān), related to ‫( اع اجع‬ʕajam, “foreigner”), because the
area was at one time inhabited by Persians.[3][4]
History
Al Bu Kharaiban Nuaimi rule in Ajman started in 1816, when Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi and
fifty of his followers took the coastal settlement of Ajman from members of the Al Bu Shamis Nuaimi
tribe in a short conflict.[5] It wasn't until 1816 or 1817, however, that the Ajman fort finally fell to
Rashid's followers and his rule was endorsed by the powerful Sheikh of neighbouring Sharjah and
Ras Al Khaimah, Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi.[6]
On 8 January 1820, following the sack of Ras Al Khaimah by a British force led by Sir W.G. Keir, Sultan
bin Saqr signed the General Maritime Treaty with the United Kingdom on 4 February 1820, followed
on 15 March by Rashid bin Humaid[7] at Falaya Fort.
An 1822 British maritime survey noted that Ajman had one of the best backwaters on the coast and
was a small town with a single fortified building, the ruler's house. In common with many other
coastal towns on what became the Trucial Coast, the population was mobile depending on the
season – there were as many as 1,400 to 1,700 men of the 'Mahamee' tribe living there during the
pearl hunting season (April–September), many of whom would migrate to Al Buraimi in the date
season. The survey notes that Ajman's ruler Rashid bin Ahmed considered his dominion independent
of the Emirate of Sharjah, but that Sharjah did not maintain that view even though it had no power
over Ajman.[8] The survey noted that the inhabitants of Ajman were 'mostly strict Wahhabis' and
recorded the presence of the ruined village of Fasht down the shore from Ajman town, which is
today the Fisht suburb of Sharjah city.
