Dubai Maritime City was established by the Dubai Maritime City Authority to consolidate Dubai’s position as a global maritime hub. The development integrates diverse maritime activities including shipbuilding, repair, logistics, and marine services within one specialized zone. It spans over 2.27 million square meters and is built on reclaimed land strategically placed between Port Rashid and Dubai Dry Docks.

The project combines industrial precincts with commercial offices, residential towers, and leisure facilities, providing a live-work-play environment tailored to maritime professionals and businesses. Its marina district features waterfront apartments with access to yacht clubs and retail outlets, supporting a vibrant community lifestyle alongside business operations.

The developer, Dubai Maritime City Authority, oversees the infrastructure and business facilitation, ensuring that maritime companies benefit from regulatory support and integrated services. Completion phases have allowed the gradual build-out of industrial facilities and residential towers, though exact completion dates vary by zone.

Dubai Maritime City is unique for its comprehensive maritime infrastructure and mixed-use approach. It supports maritime industry growth while providing modern urban living and leisure amenities in a prime waterfront location, contributing to Dubai’s economic diversification.
