About the Area

One of the biggest advantages of living in Dubai Marina is its convenient location, as it has easy access to Al Sufouh Rd and the Sheikh Zayed Rd, which connects all seven emirates. Dubai Marina is also in close proximity to Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai Media City, Barsha Heights, JBR, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Internet City and Umm Suqeim, which are all located 10-15 minutes’ away by car.

On the other hand, Dubai Marina lacks education institutions within its immediate vicinity. However, there are several schools nearby, in the neighbouring areas of Al Sufouh, Umm Suqeim, Al Barsha and The Springs. Most of the schools are located within a 15 minute drive and offer Indian, British and American curricula. At the same time, parents with young children will be happy to know that there are many kindergartens within walking distance both inside and outside Dubai Marina.

Pier 7 which is a 7-storeyed complex of some of the best restaurants in the world, is a 5-minute walk from Dubai Marina Yacht Club and is right next to Dubai Marina Mall. There are also several branches of the ZOOM Convenience Stores, a Waitrose, Spinneys and West Zone Fresh Supermarkets throughout the area.
