A breathtaking district that offers everything from the super-convenient Dubai Marina Mall to the docks with their abundance of water-facing restaurants and cafes, some open well-past midnight to the delight of every bon vivant in the community. Meanwhile, families will be entertained by the fairground rides, pop-up stalls and numerous entertainment options for the little ones.

Residents enjoy looking at the reflection of high-rises on the marina’s waters, an inspiration to many photographers who have made it into one of the most iconic images of Dubai.
