FAQ

Can't find the answer you'r looking for? We've shared some of our most frequently asked question to help you out!

Is it better to stay in Dubai Marina or Downtown Dubai?

It depends on your priorities. Choose Dubai Marina if you want a relaxed, walkable holiday vibe with waterfront dining, beaches, and nightlife. Choose Downtown Dubai if your primary focus is high-end shopping at The Dubai Mall and sightseeing around the Burj Khalifa.

Are flight and hotel packages to Dubai protected?

Yes. When you book your flights and Dubai Marina hotel together through Stunning Holiday, your entire package is financially protected. You can travel with complete peace of mind knowing your holiday investment is secure.

Can I easily get to the beach from a Dubai Marina hotel?

Yes. Most hotels in the Marina are just a short 5 to 15-minute walk across the pedestrian bridges to Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and its pristine public beach areas.

What is the Tourism Dirham fee, and do I have to pay it?

Yes, all hotels in Dubai are required by law to collect a local tax called the Tourism Dirham. You pay this directly to the hotel at check-in or check-out. The fee is charged per room, per night, and costs AED 20 for 5-star hotels and AED 15 for 4-star hotels.

How far is Dubai Marina from Dubai International Airport (DXB)?

Because Dubai Marina is located toward the southern end of the city, a taxi ride from DXB Airport typically takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic. You can also take the Dubai Metro Red Line directly from the airport to the Marina stations (DMCC or Sobha Realty).

Do hotels in Dubai Marina serve alcohol?

Yes. Licensed hotels and their attached restaurants, bars, and beach clubs freely serve alcohol to tourists. The Marina is home to some of the most popular licensed venues and nightlife spots in the city.

Is Dubai Marina family-friendly?

Absolutely. The wide, pedestrianized Marina Walk is perfect for strollers, and there are numerous playgrounds, family-friendly restaurants, and a cinema located within the Dubai Marina Mall. Many hotels here also feature excellent kids' clubs.

Do Dubai Marina hotels require a credit card deposit at check-in?

Yes, it is standard practice for almost all hotels in Dubai to block a security deposit on your credit card upon check-in to cover potential incidentals like room service or minibar usage. The unused amount is released back to your card at check-out.

Can I walk from Dubai Marina to Bluewaters Island?

Yes. A beautiful pedestrian bridge connects the southern end of JBR (adjacent to the Marina) directly to Bluewaters Island, home to Ain Dubai (the world's largest observation wheel) and excellent waterfront dining.

Do hotels in Dubai Marina offer airport transfers?

Most 4-star and 5-star hotels in the Marina offer private airport transfer services for an additional fee. We highly recommend booking these in advance through Stunning Holiday to ensure a seamless arrival experience, especially if you are landing late at night.
