Umm al-Quwain Attractions

Umm al-Quwain is situated between Ajman and Ras al-Khaimah. It is the capital of the emirate of Umm al-Quwain offering a relaxed atmosphere, long beaches and an enclosed lagoon. The natural lagoon is ideal for water sports and small boat activities.

The city of Umm al-Quwain has the preserved remains of an old fort with defensive cannons at the main gate. The fort has two rounded towers and a higher wall located behind the towers that are mostly in ruin. Three old watchtowers also guard access to the town.

A major attraction in Umm al-Quwain is Dreamland, an aqua park that is among the largest in the world.

The fort of Umm al-Quwain once guarded the entrance to the old town by overseeing the sea on one side and the creek on the other. The Umm al-Quwain fort has been renovated and now houses a museum.

The museum displays artifacts found at important nearby archeological sites including Al Door. The exhibits provide a fascinating glimpse into a bygone period.

A wall that once surrounded the original settlement is scheduled for restoration.
