Times: Move over Dubai, Ajman is the new emirate on the block

White sand beaches, turquoise waters, stylish hotels, elegant restaurants... the images in a recent series of television adverts fulfil all the usual sun, sea and sand holiday dreams.But few people will have heard of the destination - Ajman.
