Dubai Marina, a man-made marina residing at the heart of 'New Dubai', is one of the city's iconic districts featuring luxurious skyscrapers, a wide range of dining and entertainment options and best of all, spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf.
The Lay of the Land
- Districts and Neighbourhoods: Known for the gigantic Dubai Marina Mall, stylish beachfront JBR, and Bluewaters Island with the world’s largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai, these districts are not to be missed.
- Beaches: The public JBR beach is a favourite among visitors offering water sports, camel rides and a host of dining options.
- Climate: The Marina enjoys a desert climate with mild winters and extremely hot summers, ideal for tourists interested in diving, swimming and other beach activities.
Getting Around
While Dubai Marina is a pedestrian-friendly paradise, having your own vehicle lets you control your itinerary and take spontaneous detours.
Parking & Mobility
Car parks are plentiful in Dubai Marina, many of which offer free parking in the evening and on Fridays. Also, unlike the UK, there's a right-hand driving system in UAE. Please note that roundabouts can be tricky, as they follow the clock system which contrasts typical UK's anticlockwise patterns.
Driving in UAE
- Speed Limits: These generally range from 60 km/h (37 mph) in urban areas up to 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways.
- Traffic Rules: Never drink and drive in UAE. The country has a zero tolerance policy towards drunk driving.
Key Attractions
Don't miss out on the stunning Palm Jumeirah, speedy Ferrari World, and towering Burj Khalifa, all of which are within a comfortable driving distance.
Local Currency
The local currency of UAE is the Emirati dirham (AED). Keep in mind, credit cards are widely accepted in Dubai.
Surrounding Cities
Venture out to the nearby cities like the cultural gem Sharjah, and the iconic capital, Abu Dhabi, and make the most of your rental car experience.
Final Words
Uniting luxury and style, Dubai Marina is a must-visit for all. So, rent a car and cruise along the glitzy cityscape at your own pace, relishing the unique blend of cosmopolitan and beach lifestyle that the Marina offers.
