Historical Context

Construction of Dubai Marina began in 2003, transforming a stretch of desert coastline into a cosmopolitan waterfront city.

Photography Tips

Use a wide-angle lens for the Marina Canal; use a zoom lens for the Burj Al Arab photo stop to get a compressed background.

Insider Tips

  • Arrive at the Marina 30 minutes early to find the boarding gate; the Marina is huge and can be confusing.
  • The 'Blue Hour' just after sunset provides the best lighting for skyscraper photography.

Our Partners

  • Powered by Viator, a Tripadvisor company, ensuring secure payments and verified operator standards.

Fun Facts

  • Dubai Marina is the world's largest man-made marina, stretching over 3 kilometers.
  • The Cayan Tower, which you will see at the start, has a 90-degree twist from bottom to top.
