Dubai Marina is among the most prestigious residential areas in Dubai. An artificial canal runs through the area, along with Dubai Marina Walk, home to numerous shops, boutiques, and restaurants. The Walk at JBR, a shopping and entertainment promenade with Arabic shops, cafes, and stores, is located almost directly on the Arabian Gulf coastline. Dubai Marina Mall, with 140 stores and 20 restaurants, is ideal for shopping. The seven-storey Pier 7 restaurant complex offers a wide range of international cuisines and is home to Asia Asia, Cargo, Atelier M, and other dining venues. Other popular restaurants include Ammos Restaurant, Suvoroff JBR, Massimo's Italian Restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory, and Wagamama.
The area is a perfect option for families with children, as there are international nurseries and schools in Dubai Marina and its surroundings. Emirates International School, British Orchard Nursery, numerous development centres, and a student campus with a wide selection of universities is within a 10-minute drive away. A well-developed public transportation network, which includes metro, tram, and bus routes, provides quick and convenient access to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and other key areas of the emirate.
