Jumeirah Beach, Dubai

Jumeirah Beach, Dubai

Jumeira Beach is a picturesque sandy shoreline situated in Dubai, specifically named after the Jumeirah district. It graces the coast along the southern part of the city's historic center and extends until it meets The Palm Jumeirah, concluding its stretch between the southern end of Jumeirah Beach Residence (adjacent to Dubai Marina) and the port facilities at Jebel Ali.

The surrounding neighborhoods near the beach encompass Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, and Al Sufouh. Informally, this entire stretch of neighborhoods and districts, starting from the southern edge of Kerama and reaching the end of Palm Jumeirah at Knowledge Village, is sometimes collectively referred to as the Jumeirah Beach Road area.

The beachfront area is characterized by prominent hotels, resorts, and residential developments. Notable landmarks include the iconic Burj Al Arab (Arab Tower) hotel, the adventurous Wild Wadi Water Park, the luxurious Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and the charmingly traditional Madinat Jumeirah, which combines a hotel and shopping complex. Adjacent to the Burj Al Arab Hotel, you'll find a water park, while on the other side lies the serene Jumeirah Beach Park.

The ultra-modern city of Dubai did not always look the way it does now. For centuries, the city's economy relied heavily on the pearling and fishing industries. The Maktoum family, Dubai's current rulers, took over the reigns in 1883. The discovery of oil in 1966 set the change for a shift away from reliance on the marine industry.
