Dubai Maritime City was established to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It’s divided into several zones which are called Industrial Precinct, Maritime Centre, Harbour Offices, Harbour Residences, The Academic Quarter and Marina District. Without any doubt, Dubai Maritime City will become one of the leading maritime centres in the world, with a harmonious atmosphere for an international maritime community, which can be explained by its strategic location and open channels to many shipping corridors. Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA) is located in the area, and serves as the international centre which focuses on trade, commerce and maritime. The free zone, which is nestled on the artificial peninsula, extends to over 24.75K sq. ft and is surrounded by the Arabian Gulf. It’s supposed to be an alternative to Jebel Ali Free Zone, which is popular among foreign investors. Those looking for a residence with waterfront views, and is just minutes away from key financial areas of the emirate, might be interested in living in Dubai Maritime City. A wide range of real estate units, including studios, apartments, duplexes and penthouses are present in this developing area. Those who are interested in commercial properties might also be interested in offices, retail stores, showrooms and warehouses.
