In the city of gold-plated food, is it any surprise that luxury finds its home in another location in Dubai? Giving luxury another place to call home, resort, retreat and escape for the lost and looking, Madinat Jumeirah offers much more than what you’d expect at first glance of your basic resort.
Where did it all begin?
Now one of the most iconic landmarks in the region and the biggest of its kind in the Emirate, the roots of Madinat Jumeirah can be traced back to the early 2000s when Dubai was but a budding city.
The resort, now home to multiple hotels, entertainment destinations, restaurants and more, began construction in 2002 and was launched in 2004.
