Jumeirah Community Guide
Decades before the blueprints for areas like Emirates Hills and Palm Jumeirah were developed, Jumeirah was considered to be one of Dubai’s most prime neighbourhoods. With vast expanses of coastline and a low-rise skyline, it provided a relaxed alternative to the fast-paced urban centre that stretches along Sheikh Zayed Road. Even today, Jumeirah holds a distinctive appeal that no other community can truly replicate, and the presence of seafront enclaves like Jumeirah Bay Island and La Mer South only add to its allure.
The community’s reputation is so deeply linked to the idea of luxury that acclaimed hospitality brand the Jumeirah Group was named after it and several other neighbourhoods across the city include the word ‘Jumeirah’ in their names as a marker of prestige. Palm Jumeirah, Pearl Jumeirah and the aforementioned Jumeirah Bay Island are proof of the Jumeirah district’s enduring legacy as the gold standard for super prime living in Dubai.
