Ajman is one of the seven emirates that form the United Arab Emirates. Its immediate neighbours are the emirates of Ras al Khaimah, Umm al Quwain, Sharjah and Dubai. The currency of the UAE is the UAE Dirham (AED). The emirate lies on an island which protrudes into the Persian Gulf from the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered in the north by the Persian Gulf, in the south and west by Saudi Arabia, and in the east by Oman. The UAE has great wealth from the oil industry, and this accounts for the majority of the country’s income.
