About Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina is a district of Dubai built around an artificial canal along a 3 km stretch of the Persian Gulf shoreline. The marina is entirely human-made; it was developed by Emaar Properties and designed by HOK Canada. Besides the water surface, its central public space includes almost 8 km of landscaped walkways, and a publicly accessible foreshore-way runs around the marina, with sections of public ocean way along the beach looking towards Palm Jumeirah.

What's inside

Much of the district is high-rise: its second phase is a cluster of towers known as the Tallest Block in the world, including Cayan Tower and Ciel Dubai Marina, which rises to 366 m. The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) is a 1.7 km strip at the ground and plaza level of that complex, developed by Dubai Properties. The Dubai Marina Walk runs along the shoreline, and the Dubai Marina Mall is a shopping and entertainment centre with 140 retail outlets.

Getting there

The district's metro stop is Sobha Realty station on the Red Line of the Dubai Metro; it was originally called Dubai Marina, then Damac Station, and took its current name on 9 August 2021. The Al Sufouh Tram also serves Dubai Marina, running 14.5 km along Al Sufouh Road from Dubai Marina to the Burj Al Arab and the Mall of the Emirates, and it interchanges with two stations of the Metro's Red Line.
