About Dubai Marina

LuxuriousWaterfront SkyscrapersIdeal for Expats, Young Professionals, and FamiliesMetro & Tram Stations

It doesn’t get better than the Dubai Marina if you want to live in one of the city’s most stylish neighborhoods. It is a high-rise district home to residential and serviced apartments and hotel towers offering an array of entertainment venues and restaurants.


Established in 2003, Dubai Marina is a man-made canal city built along a 3 km stretch of the Arabian Gulf’s shoreline. Developed by the reputable Emaar Properties, it quickly became one of Dubai’s most luxurious neighborhoods.


It lies along a canal surrounded by yachts and framed by some of Dubai’s highest skyscrapers. It’s known as the ‘Tallest Block in the World’, as it is home to many of its tallest residential buildings. Many of these skyscrapers feature stunning waterfront views, making Dubai Marina one of the most popular areas for renting and buying luxurious apartments.


Moreover, Dubai Marina is within walking distance of the iconic leisure and residential hub of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). JBR was developed by Dubai Properties and contains 40 towers with a capacity of 15,000 people. It is known for its beach, restaurants, nightlife, and sand-colored JBR residential complex.


Another prestigious development in Dubai Marina is Dubai Harbour, a seafront district developed by Meraas with a 120,000 sqm cruise facility that can berth up to 700 boats and yachts. It lies at the intersection of Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island and contains a variety of residential buildings and dining and leisure facilities.
