Mina Rashid
About Mina Rashid
Mina Rashid is a landmark development by Emaar and P&O Marinas, planned as a major transformation of Dubai’s original trading port. The mixed-use project aims to preserve the site’s maritime heritage while bringing in modern residential and recreational facilities.
Spread across 6.8 million sq. ft., Mina Rashid features seven integrated districts offering waterfront apartments with contemporary finishes. The buildings include glass façades, expansive balconies, and sweeping views of the Dubai skyline or the Arabian Gulf.
Sirdhana and Seascape are the prominent sub-communities. Sirdhana is named after the first vessel to dock at the port in 1970 and features a mix of 1–4-bedroom units. Seascape is located near the canal pool and community park, emphasizing natural beauty and wellness.
The project includes a private beach, a floating yacht club, and the Dubai Mall by the Sea. QE2 adds cultural and tourism value, while district parks, schools, and recreational centres provide family-focused infrastructure.
