Most know the wonderful and interesting history of Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Briefly, Arabs living here before the 1960′s were traders and fishermen. The location makes it an excellent place to reside and vacation as you are at the center of many trade routes. And along the past century, more foreigners started calling Dubai and the Jumeirah Beach area their home. Construction here has just begun to slow down with the onset of a teetering economy, once shouldered by oil. Still, it’s a must see and lined with first class hotels, like the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, to boot.
