Dubai Marina

Event Overview:

Dubai Marina (Arabic: مرسى دبي), also known as Marsa Dubai, is a district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is built around an artificially constructed canal along a 3-kilometre (2 mi) stretch of the Persian Gulf shoreline. In 2018 it had a population of 55,052.[1] The district can accommodate over 120,000 people,[2] and is located on Interchange 5 between Jebel Ali Port and the area which hosts Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, and the American University in Dubai. The Dubai Marina was inspired by the Concord Pacific Place development along False Creek in Vancouver, Canada.[3] There have been many instances of marine wildlife, especially whales and sharks, entering the marina because of its proximity to the open sea
