Dubai Mall, United Arab Emirates

Still, it is important to remember that Jumeirah is an area in a Muslim country, so there are certain rules that tourists must follow. This concerns many aspects of everyday life. Tourists are encouraged to learn more about these traditions before they come to Dubai for a vacation. However, one thing is always the same – visitors who follow local laws and respect local traditions are cordially welcome and local people will treat them with friendliness. Local people are good-spirited and hospitable by nature, so it is absolutely impossible for them to offend or frustrate another person. Tourists shouldn’t reject a dinner invitation from a local person and should never be tactless when dealing with locals. Residents of the UAE have virtually endless patience, but if someone loses their respect that happens once and for always.

Jumeirah regularly hosts many interesting festivals, many of which have become internationally famous and never ceases to attract thousands of guests. Without a doubt, Dubai Shopping Festival is one of such events. All venues in Jumeirah participate in this festival. Shopping malls, hotels, bars, and restaurants offer incredible discounts during this magnificent shopping event. Besides that, there are traditionally many family-oriented events during this time of the year, including fireworks, street performances, and music concerts. There is even a separate entertaining program for children. Special playgrounds for kids open in several parts of the area. The festival starts at the end of December and lasts until the mid-February.
