If you're looking for stylish boutiques, al fresco dining or simply a leisurely promenade along the waterfront, head to The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residences.

Along this buzzing boulevard, there's plenty of opportunity to satisfy your retail cravings with an array of fashion, home and handicraft shops and boutiques. Boutique 1 is a multi-brand designer paradise that boasts both international and homegrown talent. A highlight is the small outdoor Covent Garden Market, where you can check out stalls offering jewellery, food treats and homewares, as well as take in performances by street entertainers. And don't miss the new shopping area called The Beach and the open-air cinema

After an afternoon of shopping, you can grab an iced latte at a café, such as Paul, or sit down for a fine meal at one of Dubai's best restaurants. Or just watch the world go by—Thursday and Friday nights are popular for strolling couples and families.
