Visitors come to Dubai Marina, one of the busiest leisure areas in the city, to unwind, shop, sightsee, and eat. Dubai Marina was built in the 2000s. Skyscrapers, million-dollar yachts, and conventional dhows may all be seen while strolling along the palm-lined 4.3-mile (7-kilometer) Marina Walk. Top attractions in the area include the Walk at JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence), a beachside shopping and dining promenade, the Dubai Marina Mall, the Dubai Marina Yacht Club, the Dubai marina sightseeing cruise, and more. The marina is frequently included on Dubai city tours, allowing visitors to see the waterway with the help of a guide and without having to worry about making transportation arrangements. Some people go on a luxury yacht or a dinner cruise. 

Facts to Consider Before You Travel:

• For tourists, shoppers, sailors, and fans of architecture, Dubai Marina is a must-visit location. 
• If you intend to stroll around Dubai Marina Walk, remember to bring sunscreen and sunglasses because there is little shade there.
• In order to see the skyscrapers and yachts, most city tours of Dubai include a quick stop at the marina.

How to get there: 

Take the metro to the DAMAC or Jumeirah Lakes Tower stations, which are the closest to Dubai Marina. Take a metro shuttle bus to the waterfront or go on foot to the marina from any location. 

When to Show up:

The combination of outdoor and indoor attractions at Dubai Marina makes it ideal all year round. It is well-liked in the nights when lots of people wander down the Marina Walk to view the lit-up towers and boats and take in the laid-back atmosphere while having drinks and meals. Arrive early to escape the throng and the fiercest sun for afternoon strolls or shopping.

The Dubai Marina’s Additional Attractions:

The 140 shops and restaurants at Dubai Marina Mall are where most visitors head first, or they choose to stay and watch the yachts from a café by the sea. While thrill seekers reserve rides on the zip line, swooshing along the rope high above the river, many also travel to the north end to view the incredibly tall and twisted Cayan Tower.
