Penthouses in Dubai Marina

Is Dubai Marina right for you?

Dubai Marina is a man-made canal lined with residential towers, a short walk from JBR beach. It has more high-floor apartments than almost anywhere in the city, so penthouses here usually look over the water, the Palm or the open sea.

Best for: Groups who want restaurants, the marina promenade and the beach on foot, and anyone going to Expo City or Dubai Harbour.

Worth knowing: Traffic around the marina is heavy at night and on weekends; allow extra time for taxis.
