Umm
Al Quwain
Umm Al Quwain is
situated between Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah on the West coast.
The traditional occupation of this emirate has been fishing and date
cultivation. The Ruler of Umm Al Quwain is H.H. Sheikh Rashid bin
Ahmed Al Mu'alla. He succeeded his father in 1981.
Umm Al Quwain's
attraction lies in its long clean beaches, an enclosed lagoon and
public horse riding stables. Located 50 kilometres south of Umm Al
Qaiwain is Falaj Al Mulla, the agricultural part of the Emirate.
Seneyah Island, one kilometre away from the town of Umm Al Quwain,
is a natural reserve for a large species of birds, deer and Al Qaram
trees. Now tourism in Umm Al Quwain will receive a further boost
with "Dreamland" - the world's largest aquapark.
