The city is located on the peninsula of Khor Al Bidiyah, with the nearest major cities being Sharjah to the southwest and Ras Al Khaimah to the northeast. There are mangroves outside the city along the coast, with the local economy being largely fishing and tourism.[3]
The ruling family descends from the Al Mualla lineage of the Al Ali tribe, which moved from Siniyah Island due to scarce water and established an independent Sheikhdom in Umm Al Quwain. Umm Al Quwain is now ruled by Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla. He became the Ruler and a member of the Supreme Council on the 2nd of January, 2009. [4]
In March of 2023, the Umm Al Quwain Department of Tourism and Archaeology announced the discovery of the oldest known pearling town in the Persian Gulf, on Siniyah Island.[5]
Many theories have been established on the etymology of the name Umm Al Quwain. The most well known and accepted theory is that the name means "mother of the two powers", from the phrase "Umm Al Quwatain" (Arabic: ام القوتين, romanized: Umm Al Quwatain, lit. 'Mother of the two powers'). The two powers here are usually known as the two forms of geographical powers. Locals of the city believe Umm Al Quwain's meaning indicates the richness of activities both on land and water.[6]
