JBR The Walk

JBR The Walk, or The Walk, is a 1,7 km (2 mi) long boulevard located along the beach of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). JBR is a very recognizable area because of the many sand-colored buildings and the presence of its beach with facilities like changing rooms and showers. The Walk is paved and has palm trees and other tropical plants on both sides.

It is no wonder why it is a very popular spot for tourists because it is outdoor in a city full of indoor shopping malls and the fact that it has many Arabic- and western style hotels, shops, bars and restaurants. Also the presence of outdoor art exhibitions, sand sculptures, comedy shows and the booths make it an attractive place for an evening stroll. It is also the place for watching people and being watched. Many tourists as well as Arab women are dressed according to the latest fashion trends. It is also the place where locals drive slowly over the boulevard to show their expensive cars from brands like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini and Ferrari.

The recent expansion of the area with the project The Beach has made The Walk and its surrounding even more attractive, especially because of its restaurants and shops with stunning views over the beach and the Persian Gulf. In front of the JBR has the construction of the artificial island Bluewaters Island begun which will host the largest ferris wheel wheel in the world, the 210 m (689 ft) high Dubai Eye. Walking through this area makes an impressive citysperience.

If you have rented a car it possible to park it in the underground garage that is accessible from Al Gharbi Street. Another option is to park in the parking bay in the Murjan towers. Parking on-street is also an option, but could be a challenge.

We from Meet The Cities recommend to go by public transport to JBR The Walk.
Options that could be considered are:
– The red line of Dubai Metro to station Jumeirah Lake Towers, which is the closest to JBR The Walk, or station DAMAC Properties.
– Tramline T1 of and stop at Jumeirah Beach Residence 1 or Jumeirah Beach Residence 2.
