Al Barsha/Mall of the Emirates
Now 11 years old, this place changed the
face of shopping in Dubai forever. Billed
as the world’s first shopping ‘resort’, it is a
destination in its own right, home to Ski Dubai,
hundreds of shops, two hotels including
Kempinski Mall of the Emirates, Magic Planet
for family entertainment, a 14-screen VOX
Cinema, Dubai Community Theatre and Arts
Centre and more than 90 dining options. Al
Barsha, the residential area surrounding the
mall, offers affordable accommodation and
local dining options close to many of Dubai’s
key attractions.
Dubai Marina
Sophisticated, skyscraping, and buzzing
– Dubai Marina is designed to evoke Riviera-
style living in a contemporary setting. This
attractive and central place to play and stay in
Dubai is a waterfront development built around
a 3.5 kilometres canal. Along its banks are
Dubai Marina Mall (with around 140 stores);
The Address Dubai Marina hotel; Pier 7 Dubai
Marina – which boasts seven restaurants, each
on its own floor and with a unique atmosphere;
and many amazing yachts.
Jumeirah Beach Residence
This area combines casual outdoor living with
top-notch shops, restaurants and the beach.
The Walk at JBR, has a 1.7km stretch of shops
and restaurants and more recently has also
been joined by THE BEACH, with even more
options formed around a pedestrian esplanade.
Desert
No trip to Dubai would be complete without
a desert safari. Hop into a 4x4 and leave the
city behind as you head into the wilds of the
desert – go dune ‘bashing’ or camel-riding
before sunset, then enjoy remote Bedouin-
style camps with fireside tales and delicious
dinners.
Jumeirah Beach
One of the original homes of tourism here in
the emirate, Dubai’s main beach area is lined
with excellent hotels, such as the iconic wave-
like Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Also here is Kite
Beach, a great public beach that hosts many
events and is popular with residents.
