Al Seef by Jumeirah

Bur Dubai


Located in the heart of Al Seef's meandering walkways, this gracious spot opened its first phase in September 2018 with 39 rooms; there will eventually be close to 200. Although new, they have been intuitively designed and built to emulate traditional Emirati dwellings with carved wood features, beams, warm earth colours and handwoven fabrics. There are courtyards, wind towers and Creek views.

Rooms are located in separate units linked by walkways and bridges and sharing traditional-style exterior courtyards.
