When it opened in 2008, The Walk, an attractive outdoor shopping and dining promenade, was an instant success with both the 20,000 people living in the Jumeirah Beach Residence development and tourists. Located in a city of air-conditioned malls, The Walk stretches 1.7km and features fashionable boutiques and pavement cafes. On weekends, it's a popular spot to spot flashy Ferraris and other luxury cars.
