Dubai Marina Walk Guide

The best time to visit Marina is at night after sunset. At night, the whole area has a beautiful ambience with yachts and Dhows in water glittering in lights and the surrounding cityscape is also flooded with light. Apart from this, starting at 6 pm, the fascinating dancing fountain show starts and can be viewed every 30 minutes which makes it more worth visiting in the evening.

Also, you will be able to enjoy the ambience better, especially during the day, if you visit in the winter. During summer, the days are very hot and you really cannot spend much time outdoors
