Eating out, poor hand hygiene and erratic weather may be among causes, say medics
Sprawled across 8.3 million square feet, still in the midst of the city but with the vibes of being in the suburbs, the area has all the perks, including shopping centres, retail stores and a 2 km waterfront promenade. The most well-known spots at Pearl Jumeirah are the trio of Nikki Beach venues. The glamorous venues are the place to see and be seen.
The star of the area is the spectacular view of Dubai's magical skyline featuring stunning views of the Burj Khalifa. Relax, take a spa day and soak up some sun!
