Your guide to living in Jumeirah

Jumeirah is one of the most prestigious residential areas in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is known for its luxurious lifestyle, stunning beaches, and upscale amenities.  Jumeirah offers residents and visitors modernity and tradition combined.

Community Overview

Jumeirah is divided into several sub-communities, each with its unique characteristics. These include Jumeirah 1, Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3, City Walk and Jumeirah Bay Islands. The area is famous for its beautiful villas, beachfront properties, and top-notch amenities.

Owners are all local or from the GCC, and even though any nationality can rent, tenants have to be families rather than groups of singles. In a great location along the Dubai coast, and home to  Burj Al Arab, one of the greatest hotels in the world. With its commercial souk and restaurants, Madinat Jumeirah is a go-to destination in the evening. Jumeirah is a holistic community with shopping malls, fashion boutiques, lots of cafés, schools and places for worship, almost everything within arms reach.

Your Living Options

There are different types of homes like villas and apartments in Jumeirah. Jumeirah 1, for instance, presents a mix of villas and apartments ranging from studios to 3-bedroom units. This area is particularly attractive to families, expatriates, and individuals due to its convenient access to numerous facilities and entertainment options, including Mercato Shopping Mall, Dubai Zoo, Jumeirah Mosque, and the beautiful beachfront, all within proximity.

Moving to Jumeirah 2, one will primarily find villas, complemented by convenient access to attractions like the Jumeirah Bay Islands and the urban mall, Boxpark. Meanwhile, residents of Jumeirah 3 enjoy both the public beach and Kite Beach, as well as the retail hub, Sunset Mall.

For those seeking apartment living, City Walk emerges as a premier destination. Developed by Meraas in 2014, City Walk is a modern metropolitan with a range of high-end residences, from 1 to 4-bedroom apartments.

A noteworthy addition to the area is the Jumeirah Bay Islands, a vast 6 million square feet development by Meraas, resembling a seahorse. Accessible via a 300-metre bridge from Jumeirah 2, it is home to the prestigious Bulgari Resort and Residences, the first of its kind in the Middle East. Featuring 6 residential towers with 173 sea-facing apartments, 15 exclusive mansions, and Bvlgari’s inaugural Marina and Yacht Club. Properties in Jumeirah Bay Islands are exclusively available for freehold purchase, with prices reflecting the luxury associated with a world-class resort and hotel.
