Madinat Jumeirah & Souk Madinat
Madinat Jumeirah / Souk Madinat
A resort styled as an Arabian old town, with canals, wind towers and a market, and one of the best vantage points for the Burj Al Arab.
Madinat Jumeirah has about 3.7 km of artificial canals linking hotels, open-air restaurants and the indoor Souk Madinat Jumeirah market. Its wind-tower architecture imitates traditional Arabian harbour towns. The market has handicrafts, spices and souvenir shops, and many restaurants on the upper floor overlook the water with views of the Burj Al Arab at night. Entry to the market is free, but abra boat rides along the canals require a hotel stay or a purchase. Next door is the free Sunset Beach (Jumeirah public beach). It is best to arrive before sunset.
