Areas
Dubai MarinaWaterfront living with everything on the doorstep.

- Gross rental yield
- AED 95,000
- Typical one bedroom rent, per year
Look elsewhere if
- You want quiet. The Marina is lively year round
- You need parking for more than one car
- You dislike towers. This is one of the densest high rise clusters anywhere
What it is
A man made canal ringed by towers, with JBR and the beach on its seaward side and Bluewaters Island alongside. Mostly one and two bedroom apartments, with a strong short term letting market.
The investment case
The most liquid rental market in Dubai. Tenants are always looking here, so voids are short and finding a replacement is rarely a problem. The trade off is heavy competition from other landlords, which caps how far you can push the rent.
What living here is actually like
You can live a genuinely car free life, which is rare in this city. In exchange the Marina Walk is crowded most evenings, and getting out by road at rush hour takes patience.
Getting around
Two metro stations, the tram loop, and the walk to JBR beach. Road access to Sheikh Zayed Road can be slow at peak times.
