Dubai Marina is a property development with the water and yachts and like many such projects, it's the combination of water and yachts which gives the worth and the ambiance. The first part of the undertaking was constructed circa 2004 and was designed by HOK, the renowned architectural firm headquartered in Canada, however the master developer subsequently sold plots and allowed individual builders to 'do their own thing'. Whilst undoubtedly a worthwhile route for the master developer, the outcome has attracted some criticism; some individuals feel that the nearly completed project has turned out to be much less well-planned than it may need been.

Meanwhile, the jetty walls can be used for the berthing alongside for visiting yachts, thus creating the animation and interest that is customarily observed at conventional harbours in Europe and North America.
