Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid is Dubai’s renaissance of waterfront living, where deep‑sea heritage meets contemporary luxury on one of the city’s most coveted coastlines. Once the bustling Port Rashid — Dubai’s original maritime gateway — this historic seafront has been masterfully transformed into a vibrant mixed‑use community by Emaar Properties in partnership with P&O Marinas. Spanning roughly 6.8 million sq ft of prime waterfront land, Mina Rashid blends upscale residences, marina berths, beachside promenades, and lifestyle amenities into a singular destination that appeals to both discerning end‑users and strategic investors. 

The community’s strategic location just minutes from Downtown Dubai, Bur Dubai and Dubai International Airport makes Mina Rashid exceptionally well connected — residents can reach key business districts and cultural hubs in under 20–25 minutes, while waterfront vistas of the Arabian Gulf provide a daily sense of escape from the urban core. A centerpiece of the area is the Rashid Yachts & Marina, a world‑class marina accommodating hundreds of berths and a future yacht club, which anchors waterfront living with an exclusive nautical lifestyle. The celebrated Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) — now a floating hotel and cultural landmark — enhances the marina’s charm and underlines the district’s blend of history and innovation. 

Real estate in Mina Rashid stands out for its quality, views and long‑term growth prospects. The residential sector primarily comprises modern 1‑ to 3‑bedroom apartments and select townhouses oriented around marina, sea or skyline panoramas. Prices typically begin around AED 1.5 million for smaller one‑bedroom units and extend into the multi‑million range for spacious family homes and premium waterfront properties. Larger townhouses and penthouses can reach higher brackets as demand grows and the master plan matures. Rental yields in the community tend to average between 6 % and 8 %, supported by strong tenant interest in luxury waterfront living and limited supply relative to demand — a dynamic that appeals to buy‑to‑let investors. 
Lifestyle at Mina Rashid is defined by choice and convenience. Lush parks, promenade cafés, gourmet restaurants, boutique retail and recreational spaces create a social, walkable neighbourhood that is rare on Dubai’s coastline. The planned private beach, cultural venues, and boardwalks ensure that residents enjoy both active outdoor living and serene seaside tranquility. Coupled with its proximity to historic districts like Al Fahidi and vibrant urban centres, Mina Rashid offers a compelling fusion of past and present — making it one of Dubai’s most promising addresses for coastal luxury, urban connectivity and long‑term investment potential.
