Getting to "The Walk" in JBR
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 09:54 AM UTC

I happened to hear about "The Walk" in JBR area. I would like to drop by there and look around when I visit Dubai in June. Where exactly is "The Walk" located? Can anybody tell me a landmark nearby the area? Is it near from Mall of Emirates? Also, is it near from Jumeirah Mosque?

Thank you in advance.

It's at Jumeirah Beach Residence which is part of Dubai Marina. It's not far from Mall of the Emirates, maybe a ten minute taxi ride. It's much further, about 20 km, from Jumeirah Mosque.

The Walk is about 2 kilometres long and runs past the beach hotels such as Sheraton Jumeirah, Hilton Jumeirah, Ritz Carlton etc.

You're welcome :-)

The Walk is best after dark so I suggest you go there early evening.

As Colin said, go after dark.
Not just because it's busier at that time, but also because of the heat.
Today it's already 44 degrees celsius so in June it will be a bit hotter than that.

Search for a small Chinese restaurant there. Eat all you can and you want for 70AED! Friend rice is so yummy!
