Dubai Marina

A man-made canyon of towers wrapped around a yacht-lined marina — by day impressive, at golden hour genuinely beautiful. The promenade, JBR beach and the world's tallest block of twisting towers all sit within a short stroll.

We time arrival for the late-afternoon light, drop you at the promenade and can arrange a marina yacht cruise or dinner reservation to follow. The classic finish to a Dubai day.

Plan your visit

• Where: Dubai Marina and JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence), new Dubai
• Opening hours: The Marina Walk and The Walk at JBR are free and open all day
• Dhow dinner cruise: Standard cruises cost around AED 120–150 per person, with a buffet, soft drinks and live entertainment; premium cruises cost more. They usually board from 8pm and last about 2 hours
• Time needed: 2–3 hours for the promenade and a cruise
• Best time: Evenings, when the towers light up; October to April is the most comfortable for walking
• Dress: Swimwear is for the beach only; dress modestly on the promenade and in the malls

Tips from our team

• Arrive 20 minutes before your cruise; boats leave on time.
• Parking is hard to find on weekend evenings, so a drop-off saves time.
• Walk across to JBR beach and Bluewaters for the Ain Dubai views.

Getting there with Arabian Ring

We drop you at the cruise pier or Marina Walk and collect you after the cruise, so you don’t need to look for parking or a taxi late at night. Combine the Marina with Palm Jumeirah for a relaxed afternoon and evening in new Dubai.
