Cruising From Dubai Marina

The boating market is now established and the outlining areas providing magnificent cruising grounds. Emaar Hospitality Group’s Dubai Marina is the region’s premier waterfront lifestyle development. The innovative marina development houses luxury residential and leisure facilities covering over 200 acres of land across ten districts. The first phase of development measuring more than 270 000 square meters consists of six high-rise towers featuring nearly 1100 waterfront apartments and luxury villas. Although the Dubai Marina canal itself offers a scenic short cruise for boaters, the new and exciting developments along the coastline are becoming an internationally recognized destination for a variety of cruising trips. Half Day Cruise from Dubai Marina CRUISE AROUND THE PALM ISLANDS The Palm and The World are the large man-made islands, which are being built on the coast. The project currently under construction and already showing buildings will increase Dubai’s shoreline by 120km and create a large number of residential, leisure, and entertainment areas. The Palm is built in the shape of a date palm tree and consists of a trunk; a crown with 17 fronds; and a surrounding crescent island - the back of which forms the breakwater. The World, consisting of many islands shaped like countries of our planet is also under construction and situated between the Palm Jumierah and Dubai Creek. Either of the Palm Island developments can be circumnavigated from Dubai Marina in less than four hours which includes a short stop along the way for lunch and a swim. FISHING Large species abound, such as king fish and tuna. Travel out from Dubai Marina early morning to a many fishing spots in the shallow waters of the Gulf. Prime fishing for everyone, including beginners, awaits you. Be back before lunch to relax at Dubai Marina’s many waterfront restaurants. Full Day Cruise From Dubai Marina DUBAI CREEK The creek divides Dubai into two parts - Deira Dubai and Bur Dubai. The creek is 14 Kms long. The Creek has played a major role in the economic development achieved by Dubai. Since the early days, when Dubai was a center for pearl fishing and pearl trade, Dubai’s trade development was attributed to the creek. The Creek has constantly been an important and a safe harbor for small and medium size ships which sail to the ports of the Arabian Gulf Region, the countries of the Indian Subcontinent and East Africa, loaded with different goods which are re-exported to these various Regions. Abras (small wooden boats) serve as taxis for those who want to cross from the Deira side to the Bur Dubai side. An imaginative way of seeing Dubai is to take a take your boat from Dubai Marina around the Palm and the World developments and into the Dubai Creek. There are many waterside restaurants and boat friendly marinas including the Dubai Creek Yacht Club which welcomes Dubai Marina boat owners. After lunch return via the coastline and view the ever-increasing skyline of Dubai, Jumierah that includes the famous Burg Al Arab and Jumierah International Hotels.
