Umm Al Quwain
Overview
Umm Al Quwain is a city full of old charm. Once a thriving center for fishing and dhow-building, this small emirate still carries that maritime spirit in its calm waters, sleepy villages, and strong ties to tradition. It’s a perfect escape for those who want to step away from the fast lane. Kayak through the mangroves, birdwatch on Al Sinniyah Island, or cool off at Dreamland Aqua Park.
The city also offers glimpses into the past through the Umm Al Quwain Fort and National Museum, as well as the ancient site of Al-Dour, one of the largest pre-Islamic settlements on the Gulf coast. Inland, Falaj Al Mualla offers a view of rural life surrounded by date farms and old watchtowers.
In Umm Al Quwain, time slows down, and that’s exactly the point!
