Dubai Marina - The largest man-made marina in the world

 

Dubai Marina is the name of a megaproject in the city of Dubai and it is designed as a part of the "new Dubai". With 75,000 to 100,000 residents the Dubai Marina should be one of the most modern quarters in the world. The City is being built for 6 billion dollars on the desert sand, with its own internet access. The internet censorship is quite strict in the United Arab Emirates, the service will be provided to Dubai Marina by DU. It will have its own infrastructure despite its proximity to Dubai centre and it will have parks and medical facilities as well. Dubai Marina is located on Interchange 5 between Jebel Ali, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and the American University. In addition to Dubai Marina soon one of the largest apartment and holiday resort will be built in Dubai, the Jumeirah Beach Residence, with 36 luxury residential apartment towers and 4 hotel towers. Dubai Marina will be nearly 4 kilometers long, with yachting ports and numerous restaurants and cafes along the side of the artificial lake. The first phase of this project has been completed.

 
 

The marina is entirely man-made and has been developed by the real estate development firm Emaar Properties of the UAE. The Marina will contain over 200 towers and some supertall skyscrapers like the Dubai Marina Towers, The Torch Dubai Marina, Infinity Tower, The Princess Tower, Number One Dubai Marina, Marina Terrace, Le Reve and Horizon Tower, and comprise of an area of 4.9 million m² (50 million ft²), which includes the 40 residential and hotel towers of the Jumeirah Beach Residence.
