If you have not seen the wonderful Arabian Gulf water, hurry up. Because I think, if someone has not seen this, he has seen nothing yet now.

The live dancing performances with the open deck as well as the glass-enclosed deck atmosphere provides unimaginable happiness. People also love to visit the Creek Dhow cruise but their level of excitement at Marina Dhow Cruise is worth seeing. But keep in mind that the pricing for the Creek Dhow cruise is not much higher compared to Marina Dhow Cruise.

Stroll the beauty of the Walkway on foot

How to reach the Marina Dubai Destination?

The Marina destination lies on the shore of the Arabian Gulf on the west of Palm Jumeirah. It distances 33 kilometers from the Airport. It takes almost thirty minutes to travel along the Sheikh Zayed Road during off-peak hours, but it may take longer time if you meet a rush.

  • Choose Metro/Cream/Taxi – A way to reach your destination by means of a cream/taxi from Red Line Metro. I have used this service personally and found two comfortable stops including the DMCC station 1 and DAMAC properties Metro which also have connections with the Dubai Tram.
  • Go by means of Dubai Tram – The best service that rolls over in a circular loop around your destination is the Dubai Tram. It can be efficient and convenient for you if it is all providing you with the right direction. But you may skip trams as there are some traffic signals that stop them for a while and the time interval can exceed. You may approach the Palm Monorail by means of a Dubai Tram.

Best Iconic Apartments to Choose from in Marina Dubai

I found some of the best apartments that provide iconic views of the city landscape. There is no exception to say that Emaar 6 Tower is among the best towers present in the area. All the apartments give the tourists the availability of small kitchens and washing machines for laundry which give more flexibility.

Here by I am going to mention some apartments including Beauport, Cayan Tower, Sparkle Towers, and Marina Gate. It is stated in Wikipedia that more than one million and twenty thousand people can stay in Marina Development’s apartment buildings and exercises.
