Jumeirah's prime location and close proximity to the beach and a variety of entertainment outlets, malls, etc, makes it an excellent place to call home. Most of the area is only available for GCC nationals however there are some expat communities that have settled into the area as well. 

Historically, the area was occupied by Arabs that were fishermen and pearl divers and traders by occupation. This makes the place an exciting area in Dubai to explore. The place saw a tremendous expansion in the 1960's which led to it becoming an area for western expatriate residents. Jumeirah can easily be seen as one of the most exclusive parts of Dubai. The expansion of the emirate since 1995 showed a lot of growth in housing developments across Dubai.
