Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city built along a 3-kilometre stretch of Persian Gulf shoreline, connected to the sea at both ends. It's one of the most densely built waterfront districts in the world, home to some of Dubai's tallest residential towers, and it draws visitors for two main reasons: Dubai Marina is one of the city's most vibrant waterfront destinations, famous for its beautiful and impressive skyline, the Marina Walk promenade for a stroll or a meal, and the water itself — cruises, charters, and watersports that run along the canal and out toward the open coast.
