Overview

Dubai Marina is one of the most established and densely built waterfront communities in the city, a 3km canal lined with high-rise towers, connected by the Marina Walk promenade and a short stretch from JBR beach.

It's consistently one of the most in-demand rental markets in Dubai, driven by tourism, short-term rental demand, and a large working population who want to be walkable to restaurants, the beach, and the tram or metro.

Why buy or sell here

High occupancy from both long-term tenants and the short-term holiday rental market.
