Dubai is famous for turning simple landscapes into amazing structures, and Dubai Marina is a prime example. It's an artificial area that extends three kilometers along the coast of Dubai, designed like a modern city around a beautiful canal. It draws its design inspiration from Vancouver's Concord Pacific Place, which is famous for its waterfront living.
The construction of Dubai Marina started in the early 2000s as part of Dubai's big plans for urban development.
The goal was to create a new, waterfront part of Dubai, taking ideas from Vancouver's successful design. This project has made Dubai Marina a top spot for tourists.
