The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence is a typically audacious feat of engineering that claims to be the world’s biggest residential development. Situated in the heart of the awe-inspiring Dubai Marina (which also claims to be the world’s largest, naturally), JBR accommodates 15,000 people within its hotel rooms, studios, penthouses and apartments overlooking the Gulf.
While Dubai’s visitors are lured by the promise of sun, sea and sand, it is a fashionista’s paradise, famed for its shopping. The Walk is a mile-long, two-storey strip running the length of the JBR, with more than 300 retailers, restaurants, department stores, cafes and gyms.
