With huge amounts of gold traded here and hundreds of shops selling jewellery, it’s no wonder that Dubai is called ‘City of Gold’ Even if you don't wish to buy; just walking through the souk itself is an awesome experience.

In February 2005, two professional tennis players, Roger Federer and Andre Agassi played an unranked game on the helipad of the hotel.

Wild Wadi is a water park next to Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The park has the tallest and fastest free fall outside North America, the Jumeirah Sceirah, where you supposedly reach 80kph! For those less speed inclined, there is Juha's Journey where you can idle your way around a river.

The Souk at Madinat Jumeirah gives you a real feel of Arabia, and although pricey, is worth meandering through over an afternoon. After shopping, it is possible to have dinner, perhaps at PaiThai, which you must take a boat through the waterways to reach, followed by dancing off your calories at the Trilogy nightclub.
