Furthermore, The Anchor will give residents and visitors of Dubai Harbour a chance to connect to the destination’s maritime spirit, blending luxury with a true seafront experience that enhances the city’s vibrant lifestyle scene.
Abdulla Binhabtoor, Shamal’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We believe in curating experiences that connect people with Dubai‘s unique seafront lifestyle, and The Anchor is a perfect example of that.

The marinas feature a yacht club with over 700 berths accommodating a diverse range of vessels, including superyachts, and a dedicated superyacht marina that provides an even more exclusive environment, complete with larger berths and a pier club featuring alfresco dining options.
Dubai Harbour: A World-Class Waterfront Community
Dubai Harbour is an extraordinary seafront residential district inspired by the connection to the sea and designed for a maritime lifestyle. The district’s unique backdrop, iconic vista, and accessible location are combined with a wide range of living, retail, and hospitality choices and comprehensive berthing facilities, making it the region’s most unique lifestyle offering. Dubai Harbour sits just over 30km from both Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai World Central Airport (DWC) and is within easy reach of the city’s world-famous attractions such as Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, and Expo City.
Dubai Harbour is home to some of the city’s most iconic destinations, including Dubai Harbour Marinas, the region’s largest marina, the Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal, a world-class facility comprising two purpose-built terminal buildings, and Skydive Dubai. At the 1st annual World Cruise Awards 2021, Dubai Harbour was voted the winner of the World’s Best New Cruise Development.
Recently, Dubai Harbour Marinas also received the 5 Gold Anchor accreditation, along with prestigious titles for Clean Marinas and Super Yacht Ready, from The Yacht Harbour Association. The region’s largest marina achieved an unprecedented feat of securing all three accreditations, not only on its very first try but simultaneously, marking a world-first achievement under The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA).
As a one-of-a-kind destination, Dubai Harbour continues to attract a wide range of locally and internationally renowned events all year round, including the Dubai International Boat Show. The events play a key role in rekindling the city’s connection to the sea, providing additional ways for people to experience their own maritime journey.
As the owning company and curator, Shamal Holding is investing its resources to be the driving force behind making Dubai Harbour an exceptional seafront district.
