Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands is a Nakheel development of reclaimed islands facing Deira. It was formed from what was left of Palm Deira, a reclamation scheme that was cancelled early in its construction. The masterplan was first known as Deira Islands; Nakheel announced it under its present name in August 2022. Its islands carry the names Marina, Central, Shore, Golf and Elite.

The master plan includes more than 20 km of beaches and roughly 2 sq km of parks and open space. Eight Nakheel beaches hold Blue Flag accreditation, with at least one of them on Dubai Islands, and a section of the eastern beach has been set aside where dogs may go in the water.

Several parts of the islands are already open:

• Souk Al Marfa, the night market once called the Deira Islands Night Souk, was completed in 2018. It holds 5,300 shops along with almost 100 cafés and restaurants set on the quay.
• RIU Dubai opened in December 2020, built by Nakheel together with RIU Hotels & Resorts. It is a 33-storey, 4-star resort hotel of 800 rooms, with a pool deck on the roof and three other pools, a water park, seven places to eat and drink, a gym complex and a club for children.
• Centara Mirage, a beachfront resort of 600 rooms with its own waterpark, is the first Centara hotel in the UAE and is managed by Centara Hotels & Resorts through a joint venture with Nakheel. It has a spa, a fitness centre, a kids' club and a number of restaurants, including dining on the roof.
• Nakheel Marinas Dubai Islands opened to boats in May 2023 on the northern coast of the city. It can take as many as 13 super yachts at once. In the water there are 248 berths, taking boats of up to 47 metres; on land, 40 dry berths take trailers of up to 20 metres.

Road access today runs from Abu Hail Road (D91) in Deira across to the islands.
