Dubai Harbour – The New Face of Waterfront Luxury From the days of fishing and pearl diving along Dubai Creek to the development of man-made island communities, like the iconic Palm Jumeirah, Dubai has developed a strong waterfront tradition. Dubai Harbour, a new mixed-use development announced at the start of last year, aims to redefine the concept of waterfront living in the city. The 20 million square foot project will be nestled between the highly popular beachfront destinations of Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach Residences. As befits the size and scale of Dubai’s ambitions, the project will include a vibrant mix of high-end residential buildings, commercial space, entertainment options and the Dubai Lighthouse, a 135-meter tower with an observation deck offering 360° ocean panoramas. Emaar, another of Dubai’s most eminent property developers, will also be making their mark on Dubai Harbour.

Dubai Opera: A Cultural Tour de Force Developed as a new hub for arts, entertainment and culture in the Middle East, the Dubai Opera is a stunning marriage of tradition and innovation, with a design that harkens back to Dubai’s rich heritage even as it points the way to the emirate’s future. The idea of an opera house in a country, and indeed a region, that has no opera tradition to speak of might seem absurd at first blush, but Dubai has developed a knack for spinning the most outlandish ideas into awe-inspiring landmarks. As the crowning jewel of Downtown Dubai’s pulsating Opera District, the Dubai Opera is no exception. Historical Inspiration When Atkins, the renowned architectural firm behind China Huarong Tower, The Crescent in Baku, and Dubai’s own glittering Burj Al Arab, was awarded the task of designing the Opera house, design director and lead architect Janus Rostock looked to the city’s seafaring past as inspiration for the design. A Space For All A Symphony of Classicism and Modernity High-tech Sophistication

Community Guide: Dubai Marina Once a small cluster of waterfront high-rises on the very outskirts of the city, Dubai Marina has gradually morphed into a key residential and leisure district. It holds the claim of being the world’s largest man-made marina and also contains one of the city’s most popular beaches. Made by carving a channel to create an artificial waterfront, the Marina is essentially split into two districts. Part of it is an island, which houses the area known as Jumeirah Beach Residence. It connects to the rest of the district on the mainland through a series of bridges. Something For Every Lifestyle Last year, Dubai Marina was the most popular community (tied with Downtown) in terms of apartment sales. On the other end of the spectrum, there are options such as Marina Gate, which features this fantastic four-bedroom penthouse. Haven of Leisure Dubai Marina is a miniature city in its own right, encompassing a wide range of lifestyle experiences in its 4-square kilometer area.
