About Ajman: <\/b><\/p>\n
Ajman<\/b> (Arabic<\/a>: \u0639\u062c\u0645\u0627\u0646\u200e \u02bfA\u01e7m\u0101n<\/i>), also spelt Ujman<\/i>, is one of the seven emirates<\/a> constituting the United Arab Emirates (UAE)<\/a>. With an area of just 260 square kilometres (100 sq mi), Ajman is the smallest emirate by area. Its seat of government is Ajman<\/a>, which is bordered on its north, south, and east by Sharjah<\/a>.<\/p>\n Located along the Arabian Gulf<\/a>, Ajman also controls Masfut<\/a>, a small, inland exclave<\/a> that is primarily agricultural. Approximately 95% of the population of the emirate resides in the city of Ajman, which forms part of the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area<\/a>. The population was only 36,000 in 1980 but grew considerably in recent years, due to an influx of people from the neighbouring emirates of Dubai<\/a>, Sharjah<\/a>, and other countries. Ajman is ruled by Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi<\/a> of the Al Nuaimi<\/a> tribe. The Crown Prince of the Emirate is Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi<\/a>. Ajm\u0101n has experienced massive development and a construction boom in recent years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n History: <\/b><\/p>\n On 8 January 1820, Sheikh Rashid II ibn Humayd Al Nuaimi signed the General Maritime Treaty with Britain, accepting a protectorate to keep the Ottoman Turks out. Like four of Ajm\u0101n’s neighbors, Sharjah<\/a>, Dubai<\/a>, Ras al-Khaimah<\/a> and Umm al-Qaiwain<\/a>, its position on the route to India made it important enough to be recognized as a salute state<\/a>.<\/p>\n On 2 December 1971, Sheikh Rashid IV ibn Humayd Al Nuaimi joined the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n For more information about Selling Used Cars, please visit: http:\/\/uae.sellanycar.com\/Selling-Used-Cars.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As reported by the Emirati news agency WAM, traffic crashes have been cut down owing to a safety campaign launched in the emirate of Ajman.
