The first phase of the Dubai Marina project, Marina 1 comprises of six towers housing 1100 residential units equipped with the most advanced technology. The first 3 towers have been named after precious stones, namely 'Murjan' consisting of 40 storeys, 'Al Mass' with 31 storeys and 'Fairooz' which will have 23 storeys. The other 3 derive their names from Arabic scents, 'Mesk' with 40 storeys, 'Yass' 27 storeys and 'Anbar' which will have 19 storeys. Additionally there will be 64 villas and up to 40 retail outlets.
The vision of Dubai Marina is to create an awe-inspiring city-within-a city that delights residents with its cosmopolitan, free-spirited atmosphere and unique, invigorating lifestyle. It will be an urban centre on the water, comparable to the most exclusive waterfront developments in the world's leading cities. Ideally positioned along Dubai's new growth corridor, Dubai Marina will be the place where people meet, laugh, live and enjoy life to the full. Always alive, with the glittering Marina at its heart, Dubai Marina will be unlike any other place, in Dubai, the Middle East and even the world.
IBN Batutta Mall - This is the nearest mega-mall to Dubai Marina--not at the Marina itself but (across Sheikh Zayed Road) within sight of some of the towers. It is described as 6 malls in one, each having a different theme--China, India, Persia, Egypt, Tunisia, Andalusia.
