| Dubai Marina is a district in Dubai. It was inspired by the Concord Pacific Place development along False Creek in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It is an artificial canal city, built along a two mile (3 km) stretch of Persian Gulf shoreline. When the entire development is complete, it will provide accommodation for more than 120,000 people. It is located on Interchange 5 between Jebel Ali Port and the area which hosts Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City. Several photos here are of the "tallest block", located on the western side of the marina. The block is also known as the tallest block of supertall skyscrapers in the world because it contains some of the world's tallest residential towers, including the 101 floor Princess Tower, the tallest residential building in the world when it was completed in 2012 at 414 m (1,358 ft). The high rise buildings are mainly clustered into a block, with the majority of the skyscrapers ranging between 250 m (820 ft) to 300 m (984 ft) tall. |
A composite image of Dubia Marina, that I put together, is shown below:
