What Not To Expect

A Family Oriented Community

Dubai Marina does not hold any schools in the immediate vicinity, however there are plenty of nurseries within the area. The traffic during peak rush hours is not very friendly in the marina, which is why it gets very difficult for the children studying in schools to reach on time. It may be a good fit for young couples who enjoy a fast-paced life. Nightlife and plenty of tourists all year round can be a nuisance for families with children.
