The Madinat Jumeirah Arabian Resort in Dubai is a luxurious 5-star getaway, spanning over 40 hectares, making it one of the grandest in the emirate. The resort is designed to look like a traditional Arabian town, complete with winding canals, intricate souks, and lush gardens. While these elements may not be typical in a desert environment, they add a touch of luxury to the area.

The resort includes two boutique hotels, Al Qasr and Mina A’Salam, as well as nearly 30 cottages known as Dar Al Masyaf. That’s not all—Madinat Jumeirah features over 40 restaurants and bars. There’s also a water park, various sports activities including a climbing wall, a dedicated children’s play area, a spa, and even a traditional souk with jewelry stores, perfume shops, and antique sellers mingled with dining options.

Even if you’re not staying at the resort, sightseeing in Dubai is a must. The resort offers a charming ambiance and is well-constructed, making it pleasant to walk around, shop, view the nearby Burj Al Arab, and enjoy a cool drink at one of the bars.
