Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid is Dubai's historic port between Port Rashid and Dubai Creek, now being redeveloped by Emaar with P&O Marinas as Rashid Yachts and Marina. Emaar's project site describes it as about ten minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road, 15 from Downtown Dubai and 20 from DXB. There is no metro station inside the community; the nearest stations are in Bur Dubai.

Emaar describes a 430-berth superyacht marina, a canal pool of around 500 metres, a waterfront promenade of shops and restaurants, parks and the QE2, now a floating hotel and museum. The Hamdan bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal sits nearby. A larger retail destination is planned, so check what is open today against the master plan.

No school operates inside Mina Rashid. Families look to Al Mankhool, Bur Dubai and Jumeirah, where schools such as New Academy School and Ambassador School are within a short drive. Check curricula, fees and current ratings on the KHDA school directory before you decide.

It suits buyers who want marina and waterfront living in a central, historic setting, sailing and yachting enthusiasts, and investors who prefer a single master developer. There are no on-site schools today, so families will want to factor that in. Handover dates are spread across phases, so check the date for each building before you reserve.

We currently list 14 off-plan projects in Mina Rashid, from developers including Emaar. Each project shows its unit types, starting figures and handover date. See other launches across the emirate on our off-plan list, and read payment plans explained before you choose.

Mina Rashid is marketed to international buyers as a freehold area, and the projects we list are offered to all nationalities. In Dubai, foreign ownership is set plot by plot, so confirm the specific plot through the Dubai Land Department's Property Status Enquiry before you reserve.
