25.1413, 55.1953 A coastal district with the open Kite Beach and Sunset Beach and views of Burj Al Arab.
About the district
Umm Suqeim is a calm coastal district between Jumeirah and Al Sufouh, known above all for its open beaches. This is where the popular Kite Beach and Sunset Beach are located, with their postcard view of the sail-shaped hotel Burj Al Arab.
The development is mostly low-rise — villas and small residences. The district is loved for its beach holidays, the waterfront with running tracks, cafés and the relaxed seaside atmosphere.
Umm Suqeim is a villa coastal district with the best view of Burj Al Arab in the city. Life here revolves around the beaches: at Kite Beach people do sports and eat at food trucks, at Sunset Beach they catch the sunset and the waves. Quiet, prestigious and almost resort-like — but without a metro right next door.
