Dubai Marina: Where The City Meets The Sea

Dubai Marina is on a 2-mile stretch of sand, facing towards the Arabian Gulf, and is the hotspot for tourists for a sun-soaked beach and night outs. Dubai Marina is the city’s waterfront, surrounded by tall buildings and state-of-the-art architecture that will leave you stunned. You can also take Dubai Ferry or Dubai Water, operated by the RTA, and can also go for private boat tours.

Next to the Dubai Marina is Jumeirah Beach Residence, the JBR, which has its own neighbourhood and is actually a gateway from Dubai Marina to the JBR beach. 

Dubai Marina Walk

Dubai Marina Walk offers plenty of cafes and restaurants, and shops to buy some of the most amazing souvenirs, allowing you to explore great business at the Dubai Marina. Take a quick bite of the Neapolitan pizza, and have ice cream, all of which is present at the Marina Walkway. 

You may often see joggers and cyclists make their way along the route; however, there is enough space for everyone, so there is no need to worry about that.

Dubai Marina Restaurants

Another popular dining spot at the Dubai Marina is the Grosvenor House Hotel, which is popular for housing some of the best restaurants in Dubai City, including Indigo By Vineet, and Rhodes W1, which is a tribute to the legacy of the late Gary Rhodes.

Other restaurants at the Grosvenor Hotel include City Social and Law Carnita, which will leave you craving more.

The best way to try some tasty street food or delicacies is to start walking by the water at the Dubai Marina and stop at whatever fancies you. 

Hotels In Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina is one of the best places to visit in Dubai, and you should make sure that you don’t miss out on that.

As we said, Dubai Marina is home to the twin-towered Grosner Hotel, which is one of the five-star hotels here. Another hotel very close to the Marina is Ceasar’s Palace Dubai Resort, and then there is W Dubai Mina Seyahi on the other side of the Dubai Marina. 

Four-star hotels include Radisson Blu Residence, Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel, and Millennium Palace Marina, all offering some of the best views, and some even offering views of the beautiful Palm Jumeirah. 

If you are planning for a longer stay and need more space and flexibility, then you can also go for Jumeirah Living Marina Gate, located very close to the Marina Walk, which offers 104 deluxe rooms with a very high-tech gym so you stay in shape even on your vacation. Other hotels that you can try are Nuran Marina Services and Jannah Marina Hotel apartments. 

How To Reach Dubai Marina?

You can also go for bus number 8, which runs regularly from Dubai Deira to Dubai Marina via Jumeirah Beach Road. You can also choose bus number 84, operating from Al Quoz to Dubai Marina. If you are travelling the full route, then it’s advisable you don’t take the bus, for it will take longer. 

If you want, you can take the Dubai Ferry that travels between Dubai Marina Mall, Dubai Water Canal, and Al Shindagha, allowing you to witness the beautiful coastline of the city.  

By Car: You can take the Sheikh Zayed Road, using interchange 5, if you are coming from heading towards the North-East end of the Dubai Marina, and for the South-West end, you can use Exit 29. 

You can also take the King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street if you are using your own vehicle.
