Dubai Marina is a waterfront urban community with emerald waters framed by some of the tallest residential towers in the world. The renowned private developer Emaar Properties transformed the coastline along the Arabian Gulf into a modern community spanning 5 square kilometers. The area is one of the most dynamic and prestigious clusters in Dubai. It is filled with modern residential skyscrapers, beautiful sandy beaches, and five-star resorts along the coast. The waterfront features promenades, yacht docks, and cruise liners, creating a resort-like atmosphere among the bustling metropolis. The community boasts various hotels and over 200 residential complexes, including the second tallest building in the world — Princess Tower, which consists of 101 floors of residential property. Residential options include studios, apartments, hotel apartments, townhouses, penthouses, and rarely private villas.
The community's infrastructure includes private beach clubs, beauty salons, and the famous The Walk JBR boulevard, lined with about 50 cafes and restaurants, over 60 shops, art galleries, and street art locations. The waterfront is home to The Beach shopping and entertainment complex, which includes shops, cinemas, a kids' club, and a water sports center. There are more than a dozen nurseries in the area, as well as pharmacies, supermarkets, and medical clinics. Residents have the opportunity to rent yachts, go on excursions, and engage in water sports — diving, waterskiing, and parasailing. The area is connected to the mainland by wide bridges and the main thoroughfare Sheikh Zayed Road. The community is served by the Dubai Marina and DMCC metro stations, and buses and trams run on both sides of the canal. The area remains one of the best places for tourism and living. The average return on investment (ROI) is around 7% for studios and 1–4 bedroom apartments.
