Jumeirah suits travellers who want beaches and a calmer, low-rise setting, with resorts such as Madinat Jumeirah at its southern end. You will need taxis to reach the metro and the main city sights.
We don’t sell tickets or tours. Prices and details come from the operators’ and venues’ own websites, with the date we checked them. How we work
