The Marina is a three-kilometre canal lined with towers, yachts and restaurants. The promenade around it is a lovely evening walk, especially when the towers light up.
Dinner cruises on traditional dhows leave from the Marina, and a short ride on the RTA water bus or a water taxi gives the same views for less.
Tickets / priceWalking the promenade is free. Dhow dinner cruises and boat tours are paid.
