Dubai’s coastline is fast becoming a popular cruising destination.
With over 250 miles of coastline, hundreds of man-made and natural islands lying off its shores and marinas capable of accommodating the latest and largest superyachts, it presents many options for those wanting to take to its waters. Other Emirates along the same coast are also building up their marinas to accommodate superyachts so you are never short of cruising destinations out of Dubai.
