What is Dubai Marina and what is it famous for?

Dubai Marina is a 3-kilometer long artificial canal, surrounded by skyscrapers and residential complexes. Walking along the Marina Walk, I felt like I was in the center of a modern metropolis, where life is bustling around the clock. Here you can see luxury yachts moored at the docks and even rent one for a sea voyage. In the evening, Marina transforms into a lively district with many restaurants, cafes, and shops. I enjoyed dinner at one of the restaurants overlooking the water, watching the city reflected in the calm surface of the canal. For those who love adventure, there is an opportunity to climb the "Ain Dubai", the largest Ferris wheel in the world, located on Bluewaters Island next to the Marina.
