DUBAI MARINA
Dubai Marina is the “pearl” of the city. Despite its modest area of only 4 square kilometers, it is considered one of the most prestigious and elegant areas.
Main features
Dubai Marina rightly bears the title of the city’s “pearl”. Despite its modest area of only 4 square kilometers, it is considered one of the most prestigious and elegant areas. Dubai Marina is located around a 3.5-kilometer-long artificial sea channel and is connected to the sea. In addition, there is a public beach called JBR Beach. It is recognized as one of the best in the UAE and is within walking distance of the main area. The beach staff keep the changing rooms and toilets spotlessly clean, and there are plenty of cafes and bars nearby.
Attractions and surroundings
It is home to the world’s largest inflatable water park. Finding it is easy: the water park is visible from anywhere on the beach. The “X Line” attraction is the most extreme entertainment in Dubai Marina and will delight those who love to be thrilled. Another attraction in the area is the Cayan Tower. The tower is known to be one of the tallest residential buildings in the world, which is “twisted” by 90 degrees. The skyscraper looks especially beautiful in the dark when thousands of lights underline its unusual architecture.
Architecture
It is called the “highest district”, because it houses the tallest block of skyscrapers in the world, the lowest of which exceeds 300 m. In addition to the skyscrapers in Dubai Marina, you can find many two- and three-story villas.
Daily life
Life is fantastic not only during the day but also at night. There are many amenities: hundreds of restaurants, cinemas, children’s playgrounds and supermarkets. On the embankment you will find numerous cafes, bars, restaurants and trendy clubs. The Dubai Marina Mall will delight shopaholics with a wide selection of branded clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics stores. Entertainment options at Dubai Marina Mall include a children’s playground and a six-screen cinema. In addition, there are four yacht clubs located in Dubai Marina Bay. Six hundred ships can dock here at the same time. In the yacht club you can rent a yacht or even buy one. The Beach at JBR is an outdoor shopping and entertainment complex. Additionally, families with children should consider visiting the popular Splash Pad water amusement park in the UAE.
Accessibility to transport
Dubai Marina has excellent transportation accessibility. From any hotel or residence, the metro station can be reached in a maximum of 20 minutes on foot. A tram line has also been built in the area. Another perk is that Dubai International Airport is only a 35-minute drive away (excluding traffic jams). Buses and taxis are also well accessible in the area.
