Dubai Marina is a district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city, carved along a two mile (3 km) stretch
of Persian Gulf shoreline . When the entire development is complete, it will
accommodate more than 120,000 people in residential towers and villas. It is
located on Interchange 5 between Jebel Ali Port and the area which hosts Dubai
Internet City, Dubai Media City, and the American University in Dubai.
The first phase of this project has been completed. Dubai
Marina was inspired by and designed to model the highly successful Concord
Pacific Place development along False Creek in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Dubai
Marina is also one of the few places in Dubai where people from Western Europe
form a majority. It is the most sought after locality in Dubai, registering
more property searches than any other area in the UAE. Property listings of
Dubai Marina apartments at Bayut.com indicate that Dubai Marina developments
feature one of the most expensive properties in Dubai both in terms of sales
and rental prices. These apartments were
the first ones to shake off the recessional effects and enjoy progress in the
UAE realty market.
