The multibillion-dollar Marjan Island project, offering a luxury resort experience on a manmade island off the coast of Dubai, is ready for its grand opening.

The island boasts a five-star hotel, marina and homes along with facilities for water sports and entertainment. Its location near the Palm Jumeirah makes it ideal for an experience of tranquility away from the bustling city but still close enough to be part of the action.
