Jumeirah in Dubai: Description
Until 1960, this land was inhabited by fishermen, Arab merchants, divers for pearls. Then, Europeans who came to these places to work began to settle on the coast. Since 1995, the territory has been actively built up with world-class chic hotels and residences, turning Jumeirah into an elite seaside resort, which has no equal in the world today.
This area begins at the port of Rashid and stretches from its western moorings to the western part of the city, where the Dubai Marina skyscrapers are located. The southern border runs along Al Wasl Road and Al Wasl. The district is divided into three parts: eastern, central and western. Along the coast of the Persian Gulf, the Jumeirah Beach promenade, built up with luxurious skyscraper hotels and very expensive shops, is located.
The Dubai Metro line runs through Jumeirah. The total area of the district is 6.9 km². No more than twenty-five thousand people live here permanently. Dumeirah is one of the most expensive areas of Dubai. The huge influx of tourists gave impetus to the construction in the city and on the coastline of dozens of luxury hotels that are known throughout the world.
