Mina Rashid Port has a long history and officially opened in 1972 as a modern marina for international merchant ships. By the 1970s of the 20th century the booming trade of the “city of merchants,” as Dubai was called long before then, required new infrastructure and Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum had the idea of deepening the bottom of Dubai Creek to allow large ships to call at it. Rashid Bin Saeed’s dream came true, transforming the place into a thriving incredible commercial hub for east-west interaction – The Mina Rashid Port.

This time Emaar is back with the most desirable and regal location in this big city, by the Gulf and next to a historic landmark. This privileged location also offers a glamorous coastal town, where the shimmering waterfront adds to the indescribable pleasure of residents’ lives, and the beautiful parks full of vibrant colors make this place a paradise.

So what sets this port district apart from the others? First of all, it has the feel of a small coastal town, with all the advantages it has to offer. Today the Mina Rashid Marina can accommodate yachts of over 100 m, and the beach is more than 12,000 sqm – more than two and a half soccer pitches.

Mina Rashid Port have 430 berths for ships of all sizes, six interconnected green and lush parks, a floating yachting club and hotels on the water, and Dubai Mall by The Sea, a grand expansion of the Dubai Mall on the waterfront.
