To start, the Rixos Premium Dubai is located right on Jumeirah Beach, with the Dubai Marina just outside its front door. We could walk out onto the sand to relax by going through one door, and straight into the bustle of the marina’s shopping center by walking out the other. This is one of the most exciting parts of town, and after the worst of the sun’s rays have passed, it is packed with people strolling around, perusing its designer shops and socializing in its many restaurants. The whole scene is reminiscent of Beverly Hills or parts of my hometown, San Diego.
