The city is known for its dhow cruises; desert safari; iconic attractions like Burj Arab, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame; and its artificial islands like the Palm Jumeirah and The World Islands.

About 500 meters from the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) coastline, you will find Bluewaters Island, a man-made island that opened in November 2018. A destination in itself, the Bluewaters Island acts as a self-contained urban city with several residential, retail, and entertainment areas.
