DUBAI MARINA
Dubai Marina is the world’s largest man-made marina. It’s a 3-kilometer waterfront area with tall buildings along a canal. This neighborhood was built from the Arabian Gulf coastline and is now one of Dubai’s most popular places to live.
Next to the water, Dubai Marina feels like a resort with yachts, international restaurants, and lots of entertainment. A famous attraction nearby is The Walk at JBR – a busy beachfront street with shops, restaurants, and beach access just minutes away.
Homes in Dubai Marina are modern apartments with water views. There are over 200 tall buildings here, creating an impressive skyline. You can find apartments with big windows looking at the yacht marina, or large penthouses with terraces all around. Every home has a view of the water.
These properties feel like you’re on vacation all year. You get infinity pools, access to private beaches, and paths along the water. Whether you want a small apartment with marina views or a big family home near the beach, Dubai Marina offers an exciting lifestyle by the water.

DUBAI MARINA - FAQs
What is the difference between Marina and JBR properties?
Dubai Marina properties are in towers around the marina canal with yacht views, while JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) properties are directly on the beach with sea views. JBR apartments usually cost 10-20% more because they have direct beach access and sea views. Marina properties have canal and yacht views with Marina Walk nearby. Both areas are connected and share many facilities, so your choice depends on whether you prefer beach or marina views.
Are Dubai Marina properties good investments for rental income?
Yes, Dubai Marina is excellent for rental income. Properties here typically earn 6-8% rental return per year, which is good for Dubai. The area always has high rental demand from expats working in nearby business districts and people who want waterfront living. Studio and 1-bedroom apartments rent out easily and quickly. The only downside is that tenant turnover can be higher because many renters are young professionals who move frequently.
How much does parking cost in Dubai Marina?
Most apartments in Dubai Marina come with at least one parking space included in the price. Some larger apartments include two parking spaces. If your apartment doesn’t include parking or you need extra spaces, you can usually rent parking from the building for around AED 3,000-5,000 per year per space. Visitor parking is available in most buildings but can be limited during busy times, especially evenings and weekends.
Is Dubai Marina too noisy for families?
Dubai Marina can be noisy, especially in towers close to Marina Walk, The Walk at JBR, or near popular restaurants and nightlife areas. However, many families live happily in Marina in quieter towers and higher floors. Buildings further from the main entertainment areas are much quieter. If you have young children and want a peaceful environment, choose towers away from Marina Walk and on higher floors. Visit the specific building at different times before buying.
What facilities do most Dubai Marina buildings have?
Most Dubai Marina buildings include swimming pools (often multiple pools including children’s pools), modern gyms with equipment, children’s play areas, 24-hour security, covered parking, and lobby reception. Many buildings also have steam rooms, saunas, and landscaped gardens. Some premium towers have additional facilities like squash courts, private cinema rooms, and business centers. Almost all buildings have retail shops and cafes on the ground floor for daily convenience.
