    We visited with our parents and 2 young children. It was nearly 50° outside so we enjoyed the air con inside and wondering around all the shops. I had read about the fountain show at 1pm but because it was summer it was canceled but no information online about it.

    Our kids loved looking at the dinosaur fossils and ice rink. Lots of bathrooms, very clean and nice morning out. We left after the first fountains about 7pm and it was starting to get very busy. We didn’t like it so we jumped in a taxi and headed back to our hotel.

    Worth every dollar (and it’s not inexpensive). They have certainly earned their self proclaimed 7-star service rating. Every expectation was exceeded. While pricy, there’s great value in all the “included” extras…. Access to an incredible world class spa even if you’re not having treatments, extraordinary views of Dubai only enjoyed by hotel guests, private golf cart transport around the expanded resort area, Abra boat rides, waterpark, full size Hermes perfume amenity, responsive butler positioned outside the hotel room, spectacular pool on edge of sea.
    Nothing here will disappoint. Truly a destination anyone who appreciates finer hotels must visit. We felt it was worth every penny and we would return without reservation.

    The Dubai Frame was an incredible experience! The views from the top are breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of both old and new Dubai. The tour was well-organized, and the entire visit was seamless and enjoyable. A must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city!

    What a great place and as a family we love to revisit each time we visit Dubai. The people within the souk are so friendly and accommodating, and don’t get put off with a little hard selling, it adds to the charm and is as found in other market venues. A simple ‘No thank you’ is sufficient and respected. Great selection of items to buy or consume and you can get lost for a while within the rabbit warren around the beautifully maintained facility.

    Having stayed with Jumeriah Hotels a number of times we love the spirit, generosity and quality provided from the Group, however my only criticism on this visit was the fact that they’re now charging 100AED (£20) per person to travel on the Abras around the facility … a little steep for a family of 4 to take a quick trip along the water course, which could do with a little tidy. Unfortunately the only thing we didn’t get to enjoy on this journey to Dubai.

    All in all a wonderful place and certainly worth the visit.

    We saw the heaviest gold ring in Gold Souk. It's the main attraction so is recommended to visit. It has a Guinness Book of World Record. You can visit the place by metro or ABRA a boat. It's easy to reach

    It is of the oldest malls in Dubai. I once visited this place 15 years ago,since then it has changed a lot. The one thing that has remained is the large ship and water fountain. My favourite part of the mall is the huge dome in the middle, surrounded by coffee shops.

    I recently visited Jumeirah Mosque and it was an unforgettable experience. The mosque’s stunning architecture, with its intricate details and majestic domes, is truly a masterpiece. The guided tour provided a deep insight into Islamic culture and the mosque’s history, making it both educational and enriching. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel at ease, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai—it’s a beautiful and enlightening place to visit

    This is a large and well stocked mall with a great location.

    The outside area offers a great view to downtown Dubai and daily fountain show.

    Inside is a wide range of shops and excellent food and beverage outlets. There is also a large Carrefour and IKEA, together with lots of entertainment options.

    The mall is easily accessible by car and there is plenty of parking.
