A travel guide to the best places to visit

Dubai Marina Walk

Dubai Marina is the name of the modern district surrounding the man-made marina with its boats, yachts and dhows. Because of the open connection between the marina and the Persian Gulf marine wildlife (even sharks and whales) could be spotted in the marina lake. It is possible to book boat trips in Dubai Marina for example with a traditional dhow, abra or a speedboat. During such a boat trip you could see the district with its ports, its 200+ skyscrapers and other fascinating buildings from the waterside. These boat trips go also to the Persian Gulf and to Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) and The Walk.

But the district has also the Dubai Marina Mall and an entertaining boulevard, called the Dubai Marina Walk. At this boulevard you can find restaurants, cafes, recreation, comfort, luxury, shops and entertainment.The boulevard is a whopping 7 km (4,6 mi) long and offers the perfect way for discovering Dubai Marina or taking a evening stroll.

If you have rented a car you could park your car in the several parking garages near the different areas of the boulevard. But at Friday and Saturday it could be very busy, so especially at these evenings it would be wise to make use of the public transport.

To get to Dubai Marina Walk by public transport you could take:
The red line of Dubai Metro to the station at Dubai Marina called DAMAC Properties.
Tramline T1 of Dubai Tram and stop at Marina Towers or Dubai Marina.
