Conceived as a new coastal cluster for Dubai, the archipelago has grown into a luxury seaside destination: over 50 km of coastline, a marina, the Souk Al Marfa retail district, and the Centara Mirage and RIU Dubai hotels. Island E, home to Bay Estate, is the archipelago's most prestigious and private district, connected to mainland Dubai by new bridges. As a result, Dubai International Airport is 15 minutes away, with Downtown Dubai and DIFC 20 minutes away.
