Jumeirah Beach Residence (also known as JBR) is a 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) long, 2 square kilometres (0.77 sq mi) gross floor area waterfront community located on the coast of the Persian Gulf in Dubai Marina in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Jumeirah is the most famous beach area in Dubai and the preferred choice of home for many foreign ex-pats living in the city. It is bordered by Bur Dubai to the north and Palm Jumeirah to the south.
The Beach
Located along the vibrant JBR coastline, The Beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence stands as a remarkable retail complex, a creation of Meraas Holding under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. Nestled between the Hilton and Sheraton hotels, this development sprawls across the sandy expanse, boasting four distinctive plazas. Offering a fusion of retail therapy, culinary delights with over seventy outlets, and entertainment options, The Beach also provides a picturesque backdrop featuring the renowned Ain Dubai (formerly the Dubai Eye) observation wheel on Bluewaters Island.
In the enchanting district of Jumeirah, two architectural marvels command attention: the iconic Burj Al Arab, hailed as the epitome of luxury hospitality worldwide, and the illustrious Palm Jumeirah, an unparalleled feat of engineering. For a breathtaking aerial perspective of Palm Jumeirah, a helicopter ride is highly recommended.
Jumeirah unfolds its splendor with a collection of pristine beaches, including Jumeirah Beach Park, Umm Suqeim Beach, and Open Beach, each offering a slice of paradise along the azure coastline. For an indulgent beach experience, Jumeirah Beach Hotel’s beach club offers a lavish retreat where the Burj Al Arab seems within arm’s reach, promising an unforgettable escape for those with discerning tastes.
