At Jumeirah, the concept of the home is more than a physical space, it is a reflection of the host's character and values. Through traditions passed down from previous generations, we have honed the art of welcoming guests to our hotels and ensuring they leave feeling renewed and inspired. This has long been the essence of our values, symbolising the importance of community, respect, and the enduring bonds we share through these moments.

This generous spirit is exemplified at Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf, an intimate collection of Arabian Houses that have been reimagined to elevate the warmth of the home. Here, you can immerse yourself in the gestures, rituals, and beauty of Arabian hospitality, honouring timeless traditions and even discovering your own.

A regal welcome

The scents and sounds of our Emirati heritage greet you on arrival at Jumeirah Al Qasr, one of the four hotels that make up Madinat Jumeirah. A traditional wooden abra boat carries you across the resort’s tranquil waterways guiding you to our beautiful majlis, an Arabic term meaning 'sitting room’. Enter your Arabian House through majestic wooden doors, which open to reveal calming spaces flowing into an outdoor courtyard. Each space, steeped in character and craftsmanship, is thoughtfully designed for sharing cherished time with family and loved ones, with plenty of space to host a small community of other families and fellow guests.

Enjoy life at your own pace

Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf is an invitation to embrace a different pace of life in Dubai. Guided by your host, you can choose to settle into your own daily rhythm. Embrace the energy of Madinat Jumeirah and all its possibilities, before journeying back to your Arabian House through meandering waterways and verdant landscapes, as time slows with every step. Books and games encourage you to switch off from technology and sink into deep relaxation, while our hosts curate thoughtful itineraries shaped to your individual tastes and preferences with the heartfelt intention of making every moment count.

A sense of place

Designed by Sahar Al Yasser, the award-winning Dubai-based founder of La Bottega Interiors, each Arabian House is encircled by lush gardens, where the serenity of nature is as reviving as it is grounding. Reflecting Jumeirah's dedication to sustainability, the interiors and exteriors seamlessly blend natural fabrics, upcycled glass, and reclaimed timbers, creating a space that is both elegant and environmentally conscious. Generously proportioned private rooms are crafted to evoke a strong connection to your surroundings, with spacious terraces overlooking tranquil waterways, and the manicured gardens leading down to the private beach. Private pools, one for every three Arabian Houses, offer a moment of quiet contemplation, relaxation, and reflection in an idyllic setting, where the tranquillity of the water mirrors the peacefulness of the soul.

Host lasting memories

An indoor majlis and private courtyard provide a soothing retreat from the sun and the vibrancy of Madinat Jumeirah. Each morning, guests are invited to savour a cup of Arabic coffee and a leisurely breakfast, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared indulgence. Throughout the day, a sumptuous selection of refreshments are provided, including fragrant teas, fruits, dates, and pastries. Our social spaces are thoughtfully designed to inspire meaningful conversations, providing guests with opportunities to cultivate existing relationships and forge new ones. Here, guests can share in the joy of Arabian hospitality by hosting their own celebrations, birthdays, reunions, and gatherings.

Shared rituals

During your stay, our spaces and rituals offer a nurturing environment designed to foster heartfelt moments. Daily bukhoor incense burning rituals remind you to live in the moment, as the gentle aroma of woody spices uplifts your surroundings. Families and couples can also delight in a tree planting ceremony in the resort’s gardens to celebrate growth and unity and create a legacy to visit for generations to come. As the sun sets, casting its golden hues across the gardens, sundowners offer a moment to regroup and plan new adventures to look forward to.

With every detail considered, a stay at our Arabian Houses becomes a joyful ritual in itself, where families, friends, and loved ones reunite year after year to celebrate life’s milestones together.

Delight in the rituals we have passed down through generations and create lifelong memories crafted just for you in the idyllic setting of Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf in Dubai.
