Characteristics of Marina Island.
Location
Marina Island is an artificial island in the Persian Gulf. It is located to the northwest of Abu Dhabi. This is a mixed development area, which, despite its small size (about 1.7 km2), is considered one of the most prestigious places for living and vacationing in Abu Dhabi. A motorway connects the island and the mainland.
The island's main feature is that it is washed by the open waters of the Persian Gulf, unlike the other islands of Abu Dhabi.
Attractions and infrastructure
The island has several iconic sights of the capital of the UAE, its marina, the purest beaches, high-end restaurants, five-star hotels, and medical facilities, in particular, Moorfields Eye Hospital, a branch of the world-famous ophthalmologic center. Premium real estate is for sale here.
The main street and the Corniche promenade connect the entrance and exit of the island. There are business centers, high-class hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants.
If you are interested in apartments in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you can find prices for finished and off-plan projects on the Emirates Estate website.
Regardless of the purpose of your stay on the island, you should visit several exciting locations, including:
- The Presidential Palace Qasr Al Watan-it is open to the public.

- Miraj Islamic Art Gallery - an art gallery that exhibits works of Islamic art. You can buy any picture you like here.
Property selection
In 2021, Marina Island officially received the status of a freehold zone. This means that foreign buyers and investors have the opportunity to purchase any property here and become its full owners. Thanks to this, the Island attracted a lot of interest, which caused an increase in housing sales.
All properties in the area belong to the premium segment. The main advantages are the unique location and the combination of incomparable comfort with a high level of privacy, quality, and security.
