General info: 

With its white sand and clean sea on one side and luxurious hotels on the other, Jumeirah Beach has the potential to become the world’s center of luxury. The glamorous Burj Al Arab hotel and the beautifully designed Jumeirah Beach Hotel are the most famous landmarks of the beach, but a lot of other extravagant buildings are in plan.

To get away from the bright sun, you can take a walk around the Jumeirah Beach Park. Dozens of palm trees and grass add up to the fresh athmosphere, while barbecues, picnic tables, and kiosks are a perfect setting for a good time.

Jumeirah Beach is located in the middle of the city, in one of its busiest areas, between the Palm Jumeirah Island and the Dubai Port. Closest metro station:
Business Bay

Costs:
