Jumeirah has been one of the most popular areas in Dubai for a long time and will continue to do so in the future. The area is home to some of the most iconic places in Dubai, such as the Jumeirah Mosque, the Zoo, and the Mercato and Palm strip malls. Jumeirah Beach, which in the past was also called Russian Beach and Chicago Beach and also goes by the name of Open Beach, is one of the most in-demand places to get a sun and go for a swim. The Town Centre is the place where all shops, restaurants and other establishments come together. The waterfront community offers residents urban living in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
Jumeirah is located in the coastal area at the Arabian Gulf and about 10-15 minutes away from the main road artery in Dubai, Sheikh Bin Zayed Road depending on the location you depart from. The area is surrounded by other popular districts such as Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Za’abeel. Many people like to call this place home as it is the perfect location as it is located near the beach, shopping malls, entertainment outlets and parks.
It is also essential to know that Jumeirah is divided into sub-communities, which are:
