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.
