Introduction

Stamps from the Arab World, particularly the old Emirates have always been a favorite of mine. They are colourful, plentiful and reasonable to collect.  There are a wide variety of subjects and most issues come in a number of different forms such as imperforate, souvenir sheets and even deluxe sheets.

These listings are what I have been able to find in the 25 years I have been collecting this area of the world.  I am sure that some errors have crept in and I would love to hear from you about these so I can update and make the lists more accurate.

I have also completed album pages for each of these and they can be downloaded by clicking on the format you want.  Offset means room for hole punching at the left while CENTER means there is no room for hole punching.  Presumably you would put them in sheet protectors.  Please be aware, some of the files have a very large number of pages.

Here is what you will find in this blog listing;

Ajman and Dependencies (4 parts)
           (USLetterOffset/A4Offset/USLetterCenter/A4Center)

Most of these stamps, except Yemen, became invalid for postage around 1964 however, there are a few unofficial issues from after this date.  I have not listed these.

I hope you enjoy collecting this area of philately as much as I have.
