About Umm Al Quwain

Umm Al Quwain is the least populated of the seven emirates — a quiet stretch of coast, lagoons and mangroves between Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. New beachfront developments have put it on the map for buyers looking for sea-view homes at prices well below Dubai’s waterfront.

Property types in Umm Al Quwain

The new supply is mostly off-plan beachfront apartments, often sold with long payment plans, alongside villas and townhouses in gated waterfront communities. The older town has traditional villas and low-rise apartment buildings.

Living in Umm Al Quwain

Life is slower here: long beaches, kayaking through the mangroves, the old fort and museum, and wildlife on and around Siniya Island. For major malls and hospitals residents often drive to Ajman or Sharjah.

Getting around from Umm Al Quwain
