Memories of Dubai are inherently tied to the sea. Since the early 1900s, rich cargoes from across the world have been traversing its shores. By the 1970s, the soaring trade of Dubai, or ‘City of Merchants’ as it was fondly called, demanded a new infrastructure; the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum conceived the idea of dredging Dubai Creek to allow large shipping vessels to enter. Sheik Rashid’s dream flourished to become the commercial centre between the east and the west - MINA RASHID. | 02 | ...SAILS INTO THE FUTURE THE PLUSH COASTAL LIFE MINA RASHID is the epitome of sophistication and glamour.
