Many recent movers to Ajman have expressed satisfaction with their decision. Christine Adolf, who relocated from Dubai to the Yasmine area in October 2023, praised Ajman’s cost-effective lifestyle. “Ajman is a beautiful place to live, very affordable, and offers great value for money,” she said. She added that if she had a remote or freelance job, she would choose to stay in Ajman permanently.
Another new resident, Khaled Abdul Salam, moved from Sharjah in January 2024 based on recommendations from friends. He noted the emirate’s rapid infrastructure development and well-equipped shopping centers. “You can find everything you need here without having to travel to other emirates. The recreational areas for families and children also add to the appeal,” he said.
Khaled was particularly impressed by the efficiency of the relocation process, which was largely handled online. “The process was smooth, and the staff were professional and courteous. Moving to Ajman was one of my best decisions,” he added.

It has attracted both local and international investors, supported by economic stability and continuous development,” he said.
The emirate’s strategic location, linking various UAE cities, has further boosted real estate transactions. The Ajman Municipality has also introduced smart transformation initiatives, streamlining rental and investment procedures to enhance efficiency.
