Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands is a master development by Nakheel, made up of man-made islands formed from what remained of the Palm Deira project after it was cancelled early in its construction. Until August 2022 the islands were known as Deira Islands; they took the Dubai Islands name that month.
Established parts of the islands include:
- Souk Al Marfa, the market formerly called the Deira Islands Night Souk, was completed in 2018.
- Centara Mirage Beach Resort, a 600-room beachfront resort with a waterpark, was the first Centara property in the UAE.
- RIU Dubai, built by Nakheel with RIU Hotels & Resorts, opened in December 2020 and has 33 storeys, 800 rooms and its own water park.
- Nakheel Marinas Dubai Islands, launched by Nakheel in May 2023, offers 248 wet berths (boats up to 47 metres long), 40 dry berths (trailers of up to 20 metres) and room for as many as 13 super yachts at once.
Eight Nakheel beaches carry Blue Flag accreditation, and at least one of them is on Dubai Islands. Nakheel has also given over a section of its eastern beach to dogs, which may swim there. Road access to the islands today runs from Abu Hail Road (D91) in Deira.
