Which emirate is the second smallest by area among the seven emirates, after Ajman?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Umm Al Quwain
- Step 1: The emirates' areas are Ajman 259, Umm Al Quwain 720, Fujairah 1,450, Sharjah 2,590 and Dubai 4,114 square kilometres. Answer: Umm Al Quwain. At 720 square kilometres, Umm Al Quwain is therefore the second smallest after Ajman.
