3. Al Manama area

Manama, an hour's drive from the city centre, is located in the plains at the foothills of the majestic Hajar Mountains. With its quiet nature and historic fortresses, it serves as the perfect escape from the city bustle.

Masfout, named 'Best Tourist Village in the World' by the United Nations Tourism Organisation (UNTO), is famous for its picteresque nature. The serene location is a village known for traditional activities. This New Year, 2026's fireworks will shine down on the vast agricultural lands and farms at Swyir Park where Nasamat Masfout Festival is also taking place.

Beside these fireworks show, the emirate's media office called on residents to enjoy other New Year events in Ajman, including the following Ajman Food Festival which takes place at the Heritage District.

As the name suggests, the Heritage District is home to antique items, and houses both Ajman Museum and the Old Saleh Souk.
