Project Overview
Dubai Harbour is an AED 25 billion waterfront mega-development situated between Palm Jumeirah and JBR, featuring the largest superyacht marina in the MENA region with 1,100 berths, a dual-terminal cruise port capable of handling the world's largest vessels and an iconic lighthouse tower.
Developed by Meraas, Dubai Harbour has already begun operations with its marina and cruise terminal welcoming vessels since 2021. The integrated masterplan includes luxury residences, a five-star hospitality district and the 135-metre Dubai Lighthouse observation tower, creating an entirely new waterfront precinct.
The project's strategic positioning creates a continuous ultra-premium waterfront corridor stretching from Dubai Marina through JBR to Palm Jumeirah, elevating the entire western coastline as the most prestigious maritime address in the Middle East.

Investment Thesis
Superyacht infrastructure is the definitive marker of ultra-premium waterfront status globally. Dubai Harbour's scale and ambition place it alongside Monaco, Antibes and Fort Lauderdale as a destination marina.
Cruise terminal operations are projected to bring 3+ million visitors annually to the JBR–Dubai Harbour corridor, generating sustained demand for short-term rental properties and hospitality-serviced residences.
The completion of the Dubai Lighthouse and residential components will establish a new benchmark for waterfront pricing in Dubai, with spillover appreciation across all adjacent communities.
