Discover Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina (Marsa Dubai) is a district in western Dubai, built around an artificially constructed canal along a 3-kilometre stretch of the Persian Gulf shoreline. It sits off Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), between Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT).

The marina was developed by Emaar Properties and designed by HOK Canada. Emaar Community Management says it holds over 200 residential towers. Most homes are apartments, from studios to four-bedroom units and penthouses, with a smaller number of podium-level villas. Construction of the first phase, Marina 1, began in 2001 and finished in 2003.

Wikipedia gives the area as 4.9 km² and a 2024 population of 70,550. Other sources give different figures. The district is established, with a few plots left and branded towers still under construction.
