Highlights of Dubai
Jumeirah Beach is sited next to the Marina and is the most famous and popular beach in Dubai. Overlooking the Arabian Gulf and flanked by hotels and private clubs, no trip to Dubai would be complete without a visit to this renowned Beach.
An awe-inspiring city-within-a-city, Dubai Marina is a visionary man-made megaproject in Dubai consisting of residential properties and luxury hotels.
Things To See and Do
For an enjoyable afternoon coffee, visit the Marina Walk. The Middle East's answer to the French Riviera, it is the lively heart of Dubai's cosmopolitan café culture, with a great selection of outdoor restaurants in which to enjoy relaxed lunches and chilled drinks, admire dramatic views of the shimmering Gulf, or simply indulge in some people watching.
At nearly 2km long, The Walk at Jumeirah Beach is larger than Marina Walk but equally as lovely. This beautiful beachfront shopping promenade consists of nearly 200 shops, art galleries and a host of restaurants, bistros and cafés.
Shopping is a key draw - close by to the Beach and Marina is the immense Mall of the Emirates, the colourful bazaar The Souk Madinat, by the Madinat Jumeirah resort, and the Ibn Battuta shopping mall.
Ski Dubai is the Middle East's first indoor ski resort, housed within the Mall of the Emirates offering a unique setting in which to enjoyskiing, snowboarding, tobogganing or just the soft powder snow while the sun's rays beat down outside.
