THIS REMARKABLE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT, BUILT ALONG A 3KM STRETCH OF THE GULF SHORELINE, IS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE REGION. MODELLED ON, OF ALL PLACES, VANCOUVER IN CANADA, THE MARINA IS ONE OF THE REGION’S HOTTEST TOURIST SPOTS, AS WELL AS A DREAM LOCATION FOR HOMEOWNERS.
The Dubai Marina is currently the largest man-made marina in the world and filled with high-class restaurants, entertainment and activity centres and some of Dubai’s most elegant retail outlets, but is also home to around 120,000 people living in premium quality skyscrapers and villas.
Towering above the Marina
Dubai Marina is also the location of some of the cities (if not the world’s!) tallest high-rise blocks. On the western side of the Marina stands a cluster of the world’s tallest residential skyscrapers including Princess Tower and the Pentominium. As this is one of the most highly desirable neighbourhoods in Dubai, developers are continuously beautifully reshaping the landscape of the Marina creating one of the world’s most striking skylines and glittering, high-rise homes for thousands of people.
Dining in style
All of these residents and visitors need to eat, and Dubai Marina has a plethora of restaurants serving cuisine from around the world. One of the best places to experience diverse international cuisine is the Pier 7 Dubai Marina, a multi-storey tower dedicated to food from around the world. Pier 7 provides some stunning views of the Arabian Gulf and a full 360 view of the Marina Waterfront. Each of its seven floors houses a signature restaurant, offering each a unique adventure in culinary arts.
Walk the walk
Dubai Marina Walk is a beautiful waterfront promenade that extends around most of the Marina. With more than 300 outlets to choose from, it’s easy to spend hours enjoying a walk around the Marina and stopping in one of its many world-class restaurants to satisfy your taste buds when you get hungry.
The Marina Walk is hugely popular with local residents thanks to its convenient location and elegant atmosphere, especially at night.
