Dubai Marina at a glance
A 3 km canal lined with towers, with the Marina Walk promenade, yachts and dozens of restaurants. JBR beach and Bluewaters are a few minutes' walk away. It has more penthouses than any other area, many with sea or marina views, and plenty of choice for big groups.
- Good for: beach days, boat trips, nightlife and groups.
- Watch out for: weekend traffic around JBR, and towers close together, so check the outlook.
