Embark on a foodie walking tour in Jumeirah

True to its moniker, Kite Beach is a popular spot for kite flying – both competitive and leisurely – as well as thrilling watersports, with stand-up paddleboarders and kite surfers dotting the depths offshore. This beach is also known as a foodie destination, with several casual dining concepts within an open-air courtyard.

Sample tasty beach bites such as Smart Brat’s sauerkraut-loaded German bratwursts or Kaakunada’s traditional Lebanese sesame-baked stuffed breads, and try some freshly-ground brews at 95 Degree Speciality Coffee. Don't miss Emirati-owned truck turned burger restaurant Salt – its American-style burgers and cheese fries make a hearty meal for sun-seekers. You can also sit down in Circle Cafe for excellent light snacks and salads.

Continue to walk around the curve of the harbour for a few minutes, and you'll reach the stretch of public beach. This family-friendly spot is usually a hive of activity on the weekends, with locals and visitors enjoying the clean sands and calm waters.

Stroll to the far end and you will find Verde Beach Dubai at the iconic Jumeirah Beach Hotel. This idyllic spot offers delicious beachside bites alongside the best views of Burj Al Arab. Get a taste of the French Riviera while at this fine European dining spot.

Hail a taxi at the handy Jumeirah Beach Hotel valet, and take no more than 10 minutes to reach your next destination, Crescent Road on Palm Jumeirah. With all-day seaside entertainment and the best Dubai skyline views along the 1.6km of promenade and beachfront, be prepared to have a fun time with your friends and family.

Get your daily dose of exercise along the walking and running trail, indulge in lazy beachfront breakfasts, or build sandcastles against the backdrop of picture-perfect sunsets at Palm West Beach. You can choose from an array of shoreside restaurants including KoKo Bay, Surf Club, Lucky Fish, The Club, Jones The Grocer, Señor Pico and KYMA, among others.

Over the road, on the east-facing side of Palm Jumeirah, a foodie hub awaits at Club Vista Mare. The short strip is packed with restaurants to suit every taste and budget. From the beautifully authentic Greek and Spanish Myrra Restaurant, to cool laidback vibes at Ria Restaurant and Bar, there's plenty to keep you occupied.

For fans of Latin American flavours, make a stop by Rumba Cuban Bar & Kitchen where you'll feel like you've stepped straight onto the streets of Havana. If you have a craving for fresh seafood, don't miss the chance to visit Ibn AlBahr, a Lebanese restaurant serving the freshest catches of the day.

Jump in another taxi and just ten minutes later you’ll find yourself pulling up to the famous Atlantis, The Palm. Resembling a seashell-pink sandcastle, the five-star hotel is known for its stunning suites, impeccable service and incredible dining options.

With a roster of award-winning restaurants and lounges on the hotel grounds, this venue is a foodie's paradise. You can choose from Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen, sublime sushi and more at Nobu or the remarkable tasting menu at Ossiano.
