The Emirates of Umm Al Quwain

The vibrant land of myriad opportunities

Umm Al Quwain is an emirate between Ajman and Ra’s al Khaymah on the West coast of the United Arab Emirates. Umm al-Quwain is the least populous of the seven sovereign emirates in the United Arab Emirates, located in the north of the country which covers an area of 800 square kilometres and stretches from the beautiful, lush green coastal mangroves lining the shores of the Persian Gulf, inland across the rolling sand dunes to the fertile oasis surrounding Falaj Al Moalla.

The name Umm Al Quwain is derived from Umm Al Quwatain, which means “Mother of two powers”, a reference to the powerful  seafaring tradition of this emirate. The modern history of Umm Al Quwain dates back some 200 years when the Al Ali tribe moved their capital from Al Sinniyah Island to its present location in the mid 18th century, when the sweet water supply dried up.

As law is strict in the entire UAE, don’t do anything which could harm anyone or is offensive. Never drive without a driving license. And never over-speed your vehicle as the roads are being controlled by radars. As Umm Al Quwain is a Muslim city, don’t eat/drink in public in the holy month of Ramadan.

Also, appropriate clothing must be worn at all times anywhere in the UAE. You don’t want to attract unwanted attention.

The emirate is ruled by Saud bin Rashid Al Mu’alla.
