The Dubai Harbour is a new development by Meraas located between Jumeirah Beach Residence and Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, incorporating marinas, a cruise ship port, luxurious residential buildings, hotels, restaurants and cafes, a shopping mall, an events area, and public services.
The project features a yacht marina, zoned around the perimeter of the development, focusing on providing a significant increase to the overall berth provision in Dubai and specifically catering for larger high-end yachts, including those over 100 metres. The total berth provision in the masterplan equated to 1,145 berths, including drystack, with 40 berths for 50-plus-metre yachts. Dubai Harbour also includes a fully equipped urban port to welcome global cruise liners at a state-of-the art passenger terminal.
Moffatt & Nichol was commissioned to support the development team with the concept design, master planning, and market studies of the marina and cruise elements within the Dubai Harbour project. The feasibility study and market assessment included extensive stakeholder engagement in United Arab Emirates and consideration of demand in the region.
