The area of almost 2 square kilometers is being built on a plot between Jumeirah Beach and Palm Jumeirah. The name Dubai Harbour speaks for itself: there is a marina, a port for cruise liners and a water station.
Dubai Harbour is an almost completely built–up area, which is in great demand among tourists due to its water infrastructure and location. We offer you to learn more about its features and affordable real estate:
Attractions
The area itself, as a whole, can be attributed to the attractions. It will be especially interesting for lovers and connoisseurs of elite vessels and, in particular, luxury yachts to take a walk here. Entertainment, of course, is dominated by water themes here.
Views on Dubai Marina. This is why tourists from all over Dubai come here at sunset. The twinkling lights of the high–altitude jungle around, the tallest Ferris wheel in the world – the Eye of Dubai — and the lapping of the sea waves will be perfect companions to end the evening for any guest.
Cruise terminals Alishba Dhow Cruise and Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal. From here you can go on a two-hour boat trip along the Dubai Marina Canal, as well as on longer voyages, for example, to Asia, Europe, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East or the Mediterranean.
The Dubai Lighthouse. At 135 m high, this yet-to-be-realized project will be one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. And certainly the brightest! The hotel will be located inside, and its windows will offer breathtaking views of the city and the sea.
Beach holidays in Dubai Harbour
There are not many beaches available for non-local tourists here: this place is next to the Be beach restaurant and Barasti Beach, which is located at the entrance to Dubai Harbour from the mainland. It is much more interesting to organize a vacation on the water by renting a yacht or sailing on a ship with a team group: the South beach lifestyle active recreation center, for example, offers various types of transport for rental.
If you want to soak up the sand, then you should pay attention to the beaches of JBR and Dubai Marina. There are dozens of cafes and restaurants everywhere where you can refresh yourself and have a snack without interrupting your rest.
The advantage for residents and tenants of apartments in the area is that almost all complexes offer their own private beaches, inaccessible to outsiders.
Infrastructure and amenities for life
Since Dubai Harbour is located opposite the central districts of Dubai Marina and Dubai Media City, you can get to any infrastructure facility very quickly by car or even on foot. So, a restaurant, a medical center or a supermarket can be reached in 5 minutes or a 15-25 minute walk.
It will take about the same time to get to the nearest pharmacy, kindergarten or beauty salon. Of course, if we are talking about large shopping malls, you will need more time: Marinascape Mall and Dubai Marina Mall are 8 minutes away by car, and Mall of the Emirates is 16 minutes away.
Development of residential complexes and real estate
Several developers are building the area and not all buildings have been completed or put into operation yet. Let’s list the main projects:
Developer Meraas offers three residential projects in the Dubai Harbour area: Bay Marina, Harbour Marina and Palm Marina.
Company EMAAR Properties built a whole complex of residential buildings Emaar Beachfront, the objects in which are still available: Address Residences The Bay, Palace Beach Residence, Beach Mansion, Beach Isle, Shorefront Residences, Marina Vista, Beach Vista, Sunrise Bay and others. The Emaar Beachfront project has been commissioned, so you can purchase an object ready for living or renting.
It is also worth noting two projects of the developer DAMAC Properties is Skycrest Collection and Damac Bay 2 by Cavalli. They are still under construction, the year of completion is 2027 and 2028.
Transport accessibility
Speaking of transport, it is impossible not to note the advantage of this area in terms of access to water terminals – this location may appeal to investors interested in purchasing real estate for rent.
As for the car routes, there are no problems here: Dubai Airport can be reached in 35 minutes, and Sharjah in 1 hour.
Opportunities for the investor
The main advantage of Dubai Harbour for an investor is the presence of both projects under construction and those already commissioned. Taking into account the developed infrastructure, transport accessibility and tourist potential, this area will definitely be popular among tenants.
Due to the steady increase in real estate prices in Dubai and the stability of the UAE economy, it can be assumed that buying an apartment for the purpose of subsequent resale will also be beneficial for the investor and will serve as a good case for enriching the financial portfolio.
Just a few examples: Emaar Beachfront Palace Beach Residence overlooking Dubai Harbour is for rent in 2025, and now you can purchase a 3-room apartment of 107 sq. m. at a price starting from $883,327. Only 10% payment is required when booking. The apartments of this complex are fully furnished.
Or another option: a 2-room apartment in Damac Bay 2 by Cavalli with a total area of 68 sq. m. costs $814,680 at the start of sales. You will need to pay 20% at the time of booking.
Since the construction and sale of coastal residential complexes are launched in Dubai on a monthly basis, we recommend that you consult experts who will compare prices, areas and infrastructure of different areas in order to choose the optimal project for your needs.
