The guide

Living in Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid is the old port turned into a waterfront district: the cruise terminal, the retired ocean liner moored as a hotel, and along the harbour a set of apartment buildings by the city's largest developer with the old city behind them and the sea in front. It is new, central and on the water, and it trades as one of the more sought-after addresses on the Deira and Bur Dubai side of the city. Mina is a port, and the name is Port Rashid, for Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who built it.

The place

The district lies on the old port's harbour between Bur Dubai and Maritime City, with the cruise terminal and the liner at its heart, a marina and a promenade along the water and the old city's souks a short drive. Its residential buildings stand along the harbour and the marina in phases, with pools, lawns and cafes between them; some are lived in and some are still handing over.

What you get

Apartments only, from one-bedroom flats to large layouts, in buildings that share a developer and a standard of finish and differ by position: on the harbour, on the marina, or behind. Nearly all of it is recent.

Who it suits

Buyers who want a new flat on the water near the old city and the airport, at prices below the Marina's. Owners who intend to let, because the district's furnished and short-stay market is forming with the handovers. People who work in Bur Dubai, Deira or the airport.

It suits people less well who want an established neighbourhood, a school in reach, or the Marina's life.

Buying and renting here

The register separates the handed-over buildings' resales from the district's off-plan resales, and this page keeps them apart; each building's own page carries its own record. Buyers off-plan should know the handover date and the payment plan remaining. For tenants, the official index caps a renewal while a new lease follows the market.

What it costs to buy

What Mina Rashid sells for

New to renting or buying here? Ejari, the RERA rental index and the cost of buying, explained.

Where these numbers come from. Sale prices are the Dubai Land Department’s transaction register, read from the Dubai Data Exchange — what buyers actually paid, recorded at transfer. Mortgage registrations, gifts and developers’ own filings are excluded, and medians are used so one unusual sale cannot move the number. Sales through 6 Oct 2026.
