Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid, also known through its modern development as Rashid Yachts & Marina, is an emerging waterfront destination on Dubai’s historic coastline, close to Bur Dubai and the older parts of the city. The area combines Dubai’s maritime heritage with a new generation of luxury residences, a full-service marina, landscaped parks, waterfront promenades, retail and dining. Emaar’s masterplan includes approximately 400 wet berths, yacht facilities and six interconnected district parks, creating a strong lifestyle proposition around the waterfront. One of Mina Rashid’s biggest advantages is its central waterfront location. It sits close to Downtown Dubai and Dubai’s historic districts, giving residents access to attractions such as Dubai Creek, Al Seef, Bur Dubai and the wider Downtown area without being positioned in a high-density central tower district. The combination of sea views and proximity to established parts of Dubai gives the area a distinctive character. The lifestyle offering is becoming increasingly sophisticated. The waterfront promenade is planned around restaurants, cafés, retail and leisure spaces, while the marina caters to yacht owners and boating enthusiasts. The Queen Elizabeth 2, now operating as a floating hotel and landmark, adds a unique historical element to the destination. From a real estate perspective, Mina Rashid is particularly interesting as an emerging premium waterfront market. Emaar is developing a growing collection of apartments and townhouses across Rashid Yachts & Marina, including branded and luxury residential projects. For investors, the appeal lies in the combination of waterfront scarcity, Emaar development, marina infrastructure and proximity to central Dubai. For end users, Mina Rashid offers a quieter coastal lifestyle while remaining connected to the city’s historic and commercial heart.
