Dubai Marina (Arabic: مرسى دبي) is a rapid transit station on the Red Line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai. It opened on 30 April 2010 as part of an extension to Ibn Battuta.

Location

Dubai Marina station is located near Interchange 5 of Sheikh Zayed Road, around 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Downtown Dubai. It lies to the east of the northern half of the Dubai Marina and to the west of the northern portion of Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The station is named after the development of the same name, one of the largest projects in Dubai. Upon completion, the Dubai Marina will house around 120,000 residents around the world's largest artificial marina.[1] Also nearby are the Jumeirah Lake Towers and The Meadows developments.
