The Dubai Harbour megaproject, located in the area between Jumeirah Beach Residence and Palm Jumeirah, will be developed by Meraas as announced by Dubai's Ruler H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The iconic luxury waterfront destination, spread over 20 million sq. feet, will include a 1400-berth marina as well as a cruise ship port and terminal, a shopping mall covering 3.5 million sq. feet, an events arena, luxurious residential buildings, hotels, offices, retail stores, public services, restaurants and cafes and ‘Dubai Lighthouse’.
The masterplan of the new destination integrates Skydive Dubai, Dubai International Marine Club (DIMC) and Logo Island into a single community. To be developed in phases, the ‘Dubai Harbour’ project will be completed in four years once ground has been broken.
His Highness noted that this project is inspired by the Gulf’s long maritime tradition, which has been inextricably linked to the evolution of trade and commerce in the region.
The unique destination, which adds a new dimension to Dubai’s flourishing tourism industry, is set to further enhance Dubai's position as a leading global hub for maritime tourism. The project will create synergies with some of Dubai’s other iconic projects located in the area including Palm Jumeirah and the upcoming Bluewaters Island project. The project promises to be an attractive destination for GCC yacht owners, who own one third of the world’s largest superyachts.
‘Dubai Harbour’ will be accessible by land, sea and air. Additionally, the project will be linked through state of the art infrastructure to Sheikh Zayed Road, Palm Jumeirah, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street and Bluewaters Island.
