Re: Developments in Ajman
Not sure why this topic should be in the Sand Pit but, FWIW, my opinion of Ajman is that its basically an extension of Sharjah and pretty nondescript. Much better is R-A-K where there is at least a scenic backdrop.

Re: Developments in Ajman
Real estate investors who are lining up to buy freehold homes in Ajman might have to wait for an indefinitie period for utilities
More than 300 towers are in various stages of development on both sides of the Emirates Road in Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah that might be completed but will not see "light" years after completion. Some billions of dirhams have been committed by small investors that could go wrong if government authorities do not collaborate to ensure utilities, officials say.
A senior federal government official has accused local governments in the Northern Emirates of "unplanned" developments that could lead to a major crisis relating to power and water supplies, or lack of it.
"The abrupt development in the construction field now seen in Northern Emirates is unplanned," Hassan Abdullah Al Ghasyah, executive director of Supply at the Federal Electricity and Water Authority (Fewa), said in a statement, responding to queries from Gulf News.

Re: Developments in Ajman
DO NOT BUY IN AJMAN
Put simply.
Massive undersupply of electricity and water
poor infrastructure
real estate laws not in place
development largely unchecked
Entire developments being cancelled

Re: Developments in Ajman
Al Hamra Resort, about 20 minutes away from you, hotel with golf and restaurants etc, nice place. Let me see if I can find that ski club information.
