Dubai
Jumeirah
Jumeirah is one of Dubai's older beachfront districts, stretching along the coast in three main sectors alongside newer freehold pockets such as Jumeirah Bay Island and City Walk. It mixes low-rise villas, courtyard homes and apartment blocks with direct beach access at Jumeirah Beach and Kite Beach. The area suits families and professionals wanting an established, leafy setting close to the coast rather than a high-rise skyline, with wasl Properties and Meraas having renewed parts of the villa stock and added newer freehold developments in recent years.
Simplified coastline. The point marks the community centre.
