  1. The setting

    Dubai Islands is the city’s newest waterfront master development by Nakheel, designed to redefine coastal living on the northern coastline of Dubai.

Residents will enjoy a network of marinas, landscaped boulevards, cycling tracks, and beachfront destinations, all within minutes of Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport. Its proximity to the historic heart of Dubai and the new cruise terminal at Port Rashid adds both charm and convenience.
