Ajman
is the smallest emirate, comprising only 260 square kilometres. It is
ruled by the Al Nuami family. Surrounded mostly by the emirate of
Sharjah, Ajman also possesses the small enclaves of Manama and Musfut in
the Hajar Mountains. Along the creek dhow building was the specialised
trade. Fishing and date-trees provided the local population with their
primary means of sustenance. Ajman benefited greatly from the union of
the emirates, a fact that is reflected today in their stately buildings
and infrastructure. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuami has been the ruler
since 1981.
