2/18/26, 11:32 AM Ajman Unveils Masfout Gate to Enhance Mountain Tourism and Cultural Appeal
Council for Balanced Development in cooperation with the Municipality and Planning Department of Ajman.

Built over an area of around 500 square metres and rising 16 metres high, the gateway features a 40-metre
architectural walkway designed to function as a visual landmark and welcoming entrance to Masfout.

The project adds architectural value to a region already recognised globally. Masfout was named the World’s
Best Tourism Village 2025 by UN Tourism, reflecting its unique combination of heritage, natural landscapes

and development potential.

Located about a 90-minute drive from Ajman city, Masfout sits in the Hajar Mountains and attracts visitors
with its cooler climate, rugged scenery and outdoor activities. The area is known for hiking trails, mountain

biking routes, fertile agricultural land and roadside pottery markets.
