Cultural Holidays with Jumeirah Experiences

At Jumeirah, we like to think of ourselves as gateways to local culture, so we go out of our way to bring the best of it to you during your cultural holidays. At Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel in Shanghai, for example, the entire lobby is encircled by a 1,000-character poem by Chinese scholar Huai Su.

There are local cooking classes and ceremonies, photography and art exhibitions, museums and theatres and places of local interest to explore. Every Jumeirah experience is as unique as the culture it represents.
