Jumeirah
Jumeirah is a residential area, situated along the
coast of Dubai. The area consists of expensive and modest
housing with a number of modern architectural styles. Some of
the expensive houses are located on large detached properties.
This area is extremely popular with expatriates, who are
working in Dubai, as well as with local residents.
Did you know that the Arabs who lived in Jumeirah in the olden
days were fishermen and pearls divers? Later on, this area saw
huge expansion programs and became famous as an area, where
western expatriates made their residence. A number of star
luxury hotels, including the world famous Burj Al Arab Hotel,
have been built all along Jumeirah beach. Jumeirah has one of
those rare mosques, which is open to non-Muslims, so that they
get an insight into Islam.
A number of world class deluxe star hotels are found all along
the beach. You can soak up the warm sunshine at the Hilton
Dubai Resort’s private beach or outdoor pool. You could also
dine at one of the ten restaurants, which the hotel boasts of.

Dubai’s premier resorts. Their wonderful luxury bedrooms with
private balconies, and the elegant pools and beaches make
