Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab Opens in Dubai

On March 26, 2025, Dubai welcomed the grand opening of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, the third property of the Jumeirah network located on the prestigious Umm Suqeim Beach. This luxurious resort, situated in one of the emirate’s most sought-after areas, promises to set a new standard in hospitality and attract even more tourists from around the globe.

The hotel offers 386 rooms and suites, including 83 exclusive suites and 4 penthouses, each designed in a modern style with touches of Arabian aesthetics. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Persian Gulf and the iconic Burj Al Arab nearby. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab positions itself as a haven for those seeking unparalleled comfort and unique experiences, featuring a private beach, multiple pools, a world-class spa, and over ten restaurants helmed by Michelin-starred chefs.

The opening aligns with Dubai’s strategy to solidify its status as a global tourism hub. In 2024, the emirate welcomed 18.72 million international visitors, a 9% increase from the previous year, and authorities are banking on new properties like Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab to help reach their target of 20 million annual tourists by the end of 2025. Special focus is placed on attracting travelers from Russia, China, and India—markets showing consistent growth.

At the opening ceremony, Jumeirah Group representatives emphasized that the hotel not only expands the brand’s portfolio but also reflects Dubai’s ambitions to blend luxury with innovation. “We want every guest to feel exceptional, and Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is the embodiment of a dream vacation,” said the company’s CEO.

Tourists have already begun booking rooms, despite the premium pricing starting at 1,500 AED (approximately $410 USD) per night. Industry experts predict that the hotel will become one of Dubai’s most popular destinations in 2025, especially ahead of the spring-summer season, when the city traditionally draws beachgoers and shopping enthusiasts.
