For a taste of local life, explore the traditional souks, where you can find textiles, perfumes, and handmade crafts.
Ajman’s Food Scene
Seafood is a big part of Ajman’s cuisine, thanks to its coastal location. Grilled fish, spiced rice dishes, and hearty Emirati stews like Harees are common finds. Those with a sweet tooth can try Khanfaroosh, a cardamom-flavoured fried cake often enjoyed with tea. Whether dining by the beach or at a traditional eatery, Ajman offers a mix of simple yet flavourful dishes.
