Dubai Marina – Where it All Comes Together
The Dubai Marina skyline is a magazine and Instagram staple and perhaps the most
iconic imagery to be associated with the Emirate. The picture-perfect backdrop of
this burgeoning young neighbourhood presents a glimpse into the Dubai of the
future. Its glittering skyscrapers & re ective waterways are de nitely a sight to
behold, but it’s what is hidden between the winding palm-lined walks and salty
shorelines, where the Dubai Marina really sparkles.
It spans from the foot of The Palm, along the sandy beaches of JBR, ending with the
Dubai Marina promenade and that is where you’ll nd us! Located at the mouth of
the yacht-embellished walkway, Rove Dubai Marina is the perfect hotel for leisure
travellers who enjoy local urban art, city connectivity and walks to the beach. The
hotel also provides bikes for rental at no extra cost, so you can grab one and go for
a ride on Dubai Marina’s promenade.

Roving Around
Though this family-friendly neighbourhood is a pedestrian paradise, it o ers a
variety of unique and experience-worthy options for getting from A to B and
exploring the rest of the city.
If the 3 km long palm-lined walk feels like a bit of a stretch, you can oat through
the heart of the Marina via the Dubai Marina Water-Taxi . Travel from end to end,
crossing from one side to the other with the availability of 4 scenic stops – Marina
Terrace, Marina Walk, Dubai Marina Mall and Marina Promenade.
Take a leisurely trip between the Marina, the Palm and the beach, using the Dubai
Tram . There are also two interconnecting stations to the Dubai Metro for adventures
farther out than your ‘back-yard’, going all the way to the Dubai Mall and even as far
as the Creek.

You will also nd local taxis dotted around for a more privatised journey, which
charge by meter, making prices fair and transparent. Don’t be surprised if they
suddenly jump up in price, that will likely be an electronic toll bridge that you’ve just
passed under. So now that you know the how, it’s time to know the where!
