Speaking about the beaches of Dubai, one cannot ignore Jumeirah Beach, which is among the top most popular beaches United Arab Emirates. It is famous not only for its delicate sand and azure sea, but also for the proudly towering sail hotel Burj Al Arab. This article contains our photos and review of Jumeirah Beach in Dubai. In addition, it was not without useful information about hotels and transport, as well as the pros and cons of the beach.

Photos of Jumeirah Beach Dubai

To better understand the whole setting and atmosphere of the beach, I made a full panorama of it. As you can see, Jumeirah Beach in Dubai does not have a long coastline; it is a relatively small bay, the waters of which are divided into three parts.

Click on the Jumeirah Beach panorama to view it in more detail.

Each part of Jumeirah Beach has a different depth, which is why so far people are swimming in one half of the beach, where it is quite shallow...

Another has red flags indicating danger. Accordingly, you can’t get into the water here; the rescuers immediately whistle at the top of their lungs.

There are quite a lot of people, as you can see in the photo. This is one of the most crowded beaches in the United Arab Emirates.

Therefore, if you want a quiet, relaxing holiday, then Jumeirah Beach is hardly suitable for this.

For lovers of silence, I recommend Al Sufouh beach or - beautiful deserted beaches where you don’t feel frantic rhythm world metropolis.

Services and infrastructure at Jumeirah Beach in Dubai:

  • there are no umbrellas or sunbeds on the beach - vacationers come with their own towels or blankets, on which they sunbathe;
  • there are two rescue towers - rescuers are strictly vigilant and whistle at the slightest violation of order;
  • there is only one cafe on the beach with snacks and light fast food, it is located closer to the road;
  • there are no changing cabins, it is better to come to the beach immediately in a swimsuit;
  • near Jumeirah Beach there is one of the most adrenaline-pumping water parks in the world - Wild Wadi.

Of course, the main vacationers are tourists who want to take a memorable photo against the backdrop of the famous sail hotel Burj Al Arab. Mishuta and I decided not to stand out from the crowd and also clicked the camera shutter)

That's why most visitors don't even go into the water. But Jumeirah Beach in Dubai has amazing fine and soft sand, with practically no shells (only sometimes you come across them in the water), as well as an incredibly clear blue-green sea, so it’s tempting to take a dip here at least once.

Overall, Jumeirah Beach in Dubai is great for both relaxing in the sun and swimming. If people flashing here and there are a little annoying, you can stay in a hotel near the beach so you can go out for sun and sea baths right in the morning, before the tourists arrive in large numbers.

Jumeirah Beach Hotels in Dubai

As many have already guessed, the most popular and impressive hotel near Jumeirah Beach is the sail hotel - the symbol of Dubai.

Below is a list of all hotels near the beach:

All of them are five-star hotels, the price of a night in which reaches $1000, but the level of luxury is, of course, prohibitive.

The only affordable hotel on Jumeirah Beach is - great option right on the first line. Compared to the exorbitant prices of neighboring hotels, this is an excellent alternative for a holiday near Jumeirah Beach Dubai.

How to get to UAE Jumeirah Beach

If you settle in another area of ​​Dubai, you can always just go to Jumeirah Beach for variety and fun. It should be noted that he is among the majority tourist excursions around Dubai. But you can get here on your own in several ways.

Get to Jumeirah Beach by taxi

Taxis in Dubai can be ordered online, the cost depends on the route.

The convenience of this method is that the price for the trip is known in advance. While ordinary city taxis are metered only this way due to the driver circling around unfamiliar neighborhoods for tourists.

Get to Jumeirah Beach in Dubai by Bus

First of all, I would like to say that the metro does not extend to the beaches of Dubai, so you will still have to take a bus from the stations (it’s a bit of a walk, to put it mildly). But the road goes right along the beach.

The movement on it cannot be said to be strong, because... public transport It still goes a block “above” from the beach - there is another highway running parallel there. But still the stop is just a stone's throw away.

The most convenient way to get to the beach is from the bus stop. Umm Suqeim, Park(it is located a block higher from the coastline). The following bus routes stop here:

  • 8 - runs along the coastline through Dubai Marina to the Gold Souk in the Deira area;
  • 88 - runs along the coastline through many beaches to the Deira area;
  • 81 - runs from the metro station Mall of the Emirates to the final station Dubai Mall.

The last option is used most often by tourists. Since you can, for example, do some shopping at the famous Mall of the Emirates, then take bus 81 to Jumeirah Beach - take a photo there and relax, and then again on the same route get to the Dubai Mall, where the Burj Tower is located Khalifa and evening fountain show.

For example, in such places it is not prohibited to photograph anything, there are no women’s days to visit, there are no buoys installed beyond which it is forbidden to swim, and so on, that is, there is much more freedom of action that we are accustomed to. Therefore, it is not for nothing that local hotels often organize transfers of vacationers to the free beaches of Dubai, included in the price of the tour.

As for hotel beaches, every hotel located on the first line has them. And if you are staying in a city hotel, you can choose between free and city beaches. As a rule, from each hotel in Dubai there is either a free transfer or a bus with a reasonable fare - about 5 dirhams (just under $1.5). 4- and 5-star hotels in Dubai enter into agreements with transport services for free transportation services for vacationers.
