What Is Marasi Bay?
Marasi Bay is a waterfront district on the Dubai Water Canal, within Business Bay. It was announced in 2016 by Dubai Properties, part of Dubai Holding, as a canal-side destination of more than AED 1 billion.
The plans at that stage included a promenade of nearly 12 km, five palm-lined marinas with 1,250 berths, floating restaurants and cafes, shops, and residential water homes. Omniyat’s VELA and VELA Viento stand in the district.
