📍 Geographic Location of Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Qaiwain
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The +971 67 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the northern emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Specifically, it serves the emirate of Sharjah (excluding the eastern exclaves of Khor Fakkan, Dibba Al-Hisn, and Kalba, which use +971 9), the emirate of Ajman, and the emirate of Umm Al-Qaiwain. These emirates form part of the UAE's northern administrative region, with Sharjah being the third most populous emirate and a major cultural and industrial hub.
Primary Cities and Local Dialing Format
Key cities and towns covered by this code include Sharjah city (the emirate's capital), Ajman city, and Umm Al-Qaiwain city. Suburban areas such as Al Khan, Al Nahda (Sharjah), and Al Jurf (Ajman) also fall under this NDC.
For local calls within the same area code, subscribers typically dial only the 7-digit local number (e.g., 6 123 456). For calls from other emirates within the UAE, callers must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the local number: 0 67 123 456. International callers should dial the UAE country code +971, then the area code without the leading '0', followed by the local number: +971 67 123 456.
Numbering Plan and Overlay Considerations
UAE fixed-line numbers are typically 7 digits long after the NDC. The +971 67 code is part of the national numbering plan managed by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA). As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for this region; the 67 prefix is exclusive to the geographic area described. However, with the growth of Voice over IP (VoIP) and number portability, a number assigned to this code may be routed to a different physical location, but the dialing format remains unchanged.
Caller Instructions
Local callers (within the UAE): Dial 0 67 followed by the 7-digit subscriber number. For example, to call a Sharjah landline from Dubai, dial 0 67 123 456.
International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 or 011), then 971, then 67, and the 7-digit number. For instance, from the US, dial 011 971 67 123 456. From the UK, dial 00 971 67 123 456.
Note that calls to this geographic code are typically charged at standard fixed-line rates, which may vary depending on the caller's operator and subscription plan.
