Living in Madinat Jumeirah Living
Madinat Jumeirah Living is a residential community by Meraas in Umm Suqeim, next to Madinat Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab. Its low rise buildings are designed in a traditional Arabian style, set around landscaped courtyards, pools and a central park.
Residents are a short walk from Souk Madinat Jumeirah, the beaches of Umm Suqeim and some of the best hotels and restaurants in Dubai. It feels calm and residential while still being close to the beach and the city.
Residents can walk to Souk Madinat Jumeirah, with its restaurants, waterways and abra rides, and the beaches of Umm Suqeim are just a few minutes away. The buildings are low and shaded, with courtyards that stay cooler in summer, and the central park is a favourite for families and dog walkers.
