About Ajmal Makan City
Ajmal Makan City is a large-scale island development by Ajmal Makan Real Estate Development, built on eight artificial islands connected by bridges along 36 kilometres of Arabian Gulf coastline in the Al Hamriyah area of Sharjah. Developed in partnership with the Sharjah government, the masterplan accommodates over 50,000 residents across 1,500 villas, 95 residential and commercial buildings, 14 international hotels, a major shopping mall, a yacht marina with 800 berths, three schools, a university and two hospitals. Completed sub-communities include Blue Bay Walk—six residential towers with studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments—and Sun Island, home to 321 smart villas.
Ajmal Makan City sits between Ajman and Umm Al Quwain on Sharjah’s northern coast, accessible from Al Ittihad Road in one minute, Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in eight minutes and Emirates Road in 12 minutes, placing Dubai 30 minutes away. Apartment pricing falls significantly below comparable beachfront product in Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah, where equivalent units trade at three to four times local rates. The community draws Emirati and expatriate families seeking waterfront living, buy-to-let investors attracted by Sharjah’s top rental yields and GCC holiday-home buyers entering the market ahead of the 2030 completion target.

What Makes Ajmal Makan City Special
Living in Ajmal Makan City is shaped by water. The canals between islands carry a rhythm absent from landlocked communities—mornings begin on the beachfront promenade, the Gulf air cool before the day builds. Residents of Blue Bay Walk step out to a private beach; Sun Island villa owners open their gates directly onto landscaped seafront. With 60% of the masterplan dedicated to green and open space, parks, canal paths and waterfront gardens connect the clusters. Evenings draw people to the walkways where the light changes over the Arabian Gulf and the marina marks the boundary between city and sea.
Ajmal Makan City attracts families and investors who value a coastal setting without Dubai’s price premium. The ongoing delivery of Crystal Gulf Water Theme Park, a major shopping mall and 14 international hotels signals years of infrastructure growth, keeping entry pricing competitive against the eventual finished product. Buyers qualify for a UAE Golden Visa for 10 years. Bayut’s annual Sharjah Market Report ranks Ajmal Makan City as the emirate’s top-yielding area for apartments, with a 7,07% ROI above the UAE national average, driven by strong demand from families, professionals and Dubai commuters.
