MADINAT JUMEIRAH

Description

Essentials about Madinat Jumeirah in brief

The Madinat Jumeirah (Engl. “City of Jumeirah”) is a hotel, leisure and business center in Dubai that opened in 2004. The approximately 48-hectare complex is located not far from the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel on Jumeirah Beach. The Madinat Jumeirah impresses not only with its beautiful layout as a lagoon city in the style of an Arabian citadel, but also with its incredible luxury. The hotels, bars, cafes, restaurants and stores of the complex are among the most noble and expensive in all of Dubai.

The complex of Madinat Jumeirah

It doesn’t sound like much of a tourist attraction at first, but the Madinat Jumeirah is something special even by Dubai standards (and that’s saying something). The park-like, green “City of Jumeirah” was built very elaborately as a lagoon city in the style of an old Arabian citadel. It is crisscrossed by waterways with a total length of 3.7 kilometers, which can be traveled by abra (water cab).

The hotels of Madinat Jumeirah

The Madinat is home to a unique mix of luxury hotels, bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as leisure activities and business premises. The centerpiece of the Madinat is the Al Qasr Hotel (“the Palace”), a replica of a sheikh’s summer residence with intricately carved wooden ceilings. In addition, guests can stay at the Mina a’Salam, an Arabian-style hotel, or stay at the Dar Al Masyaf, which consists of 29 detached double-story private villas with private pools modeled after traditional Arabian “summer houses.”

Other facilities in the Madinat Jumeirah

Those who are hungry or thirsty can fortify themselves in one of the 45 restaurants, bars or cafés of the Madinat. For spontaneous shopping, guests and visitors can use the Souk Madinat Jumeirah, a replica market with 75 small stores offering mainly antiques, handicrafts and high-quality oriental food. Those seeking relaxation will find it at the Talise luxury spa. Sports enthusiasts have their own sports center at the Madinat, and theater fans can visit Dubai’s first and only theater here. The Madinat Jumeirah is also popular with business travelers, as it is home to the region’s largest conference center.
