Dubai Marina:
Dubai Marina, formerly named Westside Marina, has been referred to as the world's largest man-made marina and is amongst the world's largest master planned waterfront development. The development project was started in 1998 and will cover an area of 53 million square feet (4.9 million square meters). It was carved along a 3.34km (2 mile) stretch of Dubai's shoreline and is a mixed- use canal-city inspired in the Venetian tradition. It will accommodate over 120 thousand people in their luxury apartment towers and villas, with a unique waterfront view.
The vision of Dubai Marina is to create an awe-inspiring city-within-a city that delights residents with its cosmopolitan, free-spirited atmosphere and unique, invigorating lifestyle. It will be an urban centre on the water, comparable to the most exclusive waterfront developments in the world’s leading cities. Ideally positioned along Dubai’s new growth corridor, Dubai Marina will be the place where people meet, laugh, live and enjoy life to the full. Always alive, with the glittering Marina at its heart, Dubai Marina will be unlike any other place, in Dubai, the Middle East and even the world.
Dubai Marina is amongst the world's largest master planned waterfront development of its kind. The Marina
lifestyle is built around an uninterrupted waterside promenade, parks and boat-berthing facilities.
Contributing to the lifestyle are shopping outlets, restaurants, cafes, day care centres and fitness facilities.
An intelligent community, Dubai Marina also affords high-speed internet access, closed-circuit television,
and digital and satellite television.
The prospect of yachting and sailing offered by the Marina brings Dubai full circle back to its sea-faring roots.
Dubai originally came to prominence as a trading hub, and traditional dhows still ply the coast as a constant
reminder of the past. Now an old Dubai tradition is set to return in dashing new style.
