Dubai Harbour Area Guide - Prices, Yields and DRE Investment Score
Dubai Harbour is a 20 million square foot waterfront master plan by Meraas anchored by the largest marina in the Middle East — accommodating superyachts up to 160 metres — and a cruise terminal able to berth the world largest cruise ships. The residential district includes luxury towers in the BEACH ISLE cluster facing the Arabian Gulf, with hotel-managed branded residences. The marina promenade connects to JBR and Bluewaters, making it part of Dubai most vibrant waterfront strip.
Why Investors Choose Dubai Harbour
