Dubai Harbor: A New Home For Superyachts In Dubai

January 2017

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai is already home to some of the most spectacular megayachts in the Middle East – and the world. It’s about to get even more amazing, however, with the recently announced expansion of the Dubai Harbor by more than 20 million square feet, increasing its capacity by 50%. In addition to room for over one thousand yachts, there will be a cruise ship terminal, shopping mall, an events arena, and a number of restaurants. It will integrate the existing marina, SkyDive Dubai, and Logo Island into one community.

But the real crown jewel might be the planned Dubai Lighthouse tower, which will rise to 135 meters high and include a luxury hotel and observation deck. There’s no doubt that this new addition to Dubai’s already stunning skyline will be spectacular.
