Dubai Marina, Waterfront neighborhood in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The Dubai Marina district stretches along a 3-kilometer artificial canal, featuring residential towers, luxury yachts, and retail establishments around its waterways.

Dubai Marina was developed by Emaar Properties and designed by HOK Canada, inspired by Concord Pacific Place along False Creek in Vancouver. The first phase covered 10 hectares with six freehold towers costing over AED 1.2 billion; three were named after precious stones (Al Mass, Fairooz, Murjan) and three after Arabic scents (Mesk, Anbar, Al Yass). The first mosque, Masjid Al Rahim, opened in October 2013 at the southern end.

The marina's first mosque, Masjid Al Rahim, opened at the southern end in October 2013; a second, Mohammed Bin Ahmed Almulla Mosque, followed in December 2016. The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence, a 1.7-kilometre strip completed in 2007 and opened officially in August 2008, is the district's busiest gathering place.

Two metro stations and a tram line connect the area to other parts of the city, while water taxis shuttle along the canal. Several parking garages are available for drivers, though public transport often moves faster during rush hours.

The area holds one of the highest concentrations of skyscrapers worldwide within a relatively small footprint. Many towers stand so close together that their shadows cover the canal promenade for long stretches.
