Emirates City is a large-scale, master-planned residential and commercial development in the Al Amerah sector of eastern Ajman, developed by R Holding. Spanning approximately 5 million sq ft, the community comprises dozens of mid- and high-rise apartment towers clustered along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), giving residents direct highway access to Sharjah, Dubai and the wider UAE.
Emirates City is a designated freehold area, allowing eligible buyers, including non-UAE nationals, to purchase apartments with full ownership rights, subject to standard registration with the Ajman Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation.
Unlike Ajman's villa-led freehold communities, Emirates City is almost entirely an apartment market, built around a dense cluster of named towers rather than individual plots. It suits buyers and tenants prioritising affordability, E311 connectivity, and a self-contained, tower-based lifestyle, including young professionals, couples, families in larger units, and investors drawn to the development's scale and rental demand.

Emirates City sits directly along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), giving residents fast, direct access to Sharjah, Dubai and the wider UAE without needing to pass through central Ajman. Public buses and taxis serve the area, though as with much of this part of Ajman, a private vehicle is the practical default for most residents' daily commuting.
Most towers include shared amenities such as a swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, and children's play area, along with 24-hour CCTV security, concierge services, and multiple high-speed elevators. Ground-floor retail and food court-style outlets are also common within the development's towers and podiums.
Emirates City includes a range of ground-floor retail outlets, salons and everyday convenience stores within its towers and commercial clusters. For a wider range of shopping and entertainment options, City Centre Ajman and Ajman China Mall are both a short drive away.
Families living in Emirates City can consider several schools within a short driving distance. Approximate distances may vary depending on the selected tower and traffic conditions.
Crown Private School: Approximately 5 km from Emirates City. Website: https://cpschool.uk/
East Point Indian International School: Approximately 5.2 km from Emirates City. Website: https://eastpoint.ae/
The Royal Academy Private School: Approximately 5.7 km from Emirates City. Website: https://royalacademyajman.com/
Healthcare options within driving distance include local clinics and pharmacies serving Emirates City and the surrounding communities. Larger medical facilities in Ajman include Amina Hospital and Thumbay Hospital Ajman. Residents should check travel time from their specific tower, especially during peak traffic periods.
Emirates City has a growing selection of cafes, restaurants and food court-style dining within its towers and ground-floor retail, alongside community parks and jogging tracks. For a wider night out, residents typically head to Ajman Corniche, City Centre Ajman, or neighbouring Sharjah and Dubai.
Emirates City has a dense, high-rise character distinct from Ajman's villa-led communities, with a mix of established, fully occupied towers alongside some buildings still completing handover. A dedicated Etihad Water and Electricity substation serves Emirates City and the neighbouring Al Helio area, supporting the development's ongoing growth.
Emirates City's property market is overwhelmingly apartment-led, spread across numerous individually named towers rather than standalone villas or plots.
Emirates City offers studio to 4-bedroom apartments across its towers, with 1- and 2-bedroom units the most common configuration. Typical layouts include an open or separate kitchen, a living and dining area, and a balcony, with shared building amenities generally including a swimming pool, gym, sauna and children's play area. Exact sizes, finishes and amenities vary meaningfully by tower, so compare specific buildings and units rather than relying on a single average.
Emirates City includes a mix of off-plan developments, recently completed buildings, and established residential towers. Buyers should compare each project separately because prices, payment plans, apartment layouts, amenities and completion status vary between buildings.
The following Emirates City projects are currently covered by AjmanProperties. Project availability and prices can change, so buyers should confirm the latest information before reserving or purchasing.

In addition to newer developments, Emirates City contains established buildings such as Lavender Tower, Lilies Tower, Majestic Towers, Goldcrest Dream Towers, Paradise Lakes Towers and Fortune Residency. Apartment layouts, maintenance standards, service charges and amenities differ between buildings. Buyers should therefore evaluate the individual tower and apartment rather than relying only on the wider Emirates City location.
Before purchasing in any ready or off-plan project, verify the developer, construction or completion status, title deed, service charges, parking allocation, payment terms and current unit availability.
Emirates City borders and sits close to several other Ajman communities:
