- GaeP1 contribution0 trop cher parkingIn the future, you should not go to this place. Already there were not many people with the free parking, but today I do not know who decided to charge 20 AED. It's just a big joke, run away, it's not worth it at all! 20 AED/heur to go eat a McDo is worth it 👏 The management company is still a shaky company like most of the companies in Dubai I guessHello GaeP, we're so sorry to hear about your experience.

- BenandHeidiDubai, United Arab Emirates42 contributionsTerrible car park experienceThis area is now very very busy. The new parking system is too difficult for many people to understand, crazy expensive (16 USD for 3 hours) and badly organised. We queued for 20 minutes just to pay and then the car park was totally gridlocked and it took us another 20 minutes to get through the barriers. I feel sorry for the poor security guards trying to keep things moving.Hello BenandHeidi, we're so sorry to hear about your experience. We want to know more to help resolve the situation.

- Diana O1 contributionupsetWhen I went to Bluewaters parking on 14. Janyary at 9:00 pm, I did not receive any ticket or token at the entrance, I had dinner at the restaurant “un di manche a Paris” and of course I paid my bill. In the restaurant they did not advise me regarding any validation for parking, and since I did not have any parking ticket or token I didn’t ask for anything neither. As I wanted leave the parking I had a very disappointing surprise that I had to pay 100 dhs for parking without any other alternative, because a long line of cars was behind me waiting to leave the parking and having the same issues like me. I am really upset with this kind of trap that the management is doing to the normal Bluewaters visitors and customers, I understand that they want to get money for parking, but the management for Bluewaters could choose a legal way, no trying to trap using tricks to take advantage of the visitors.Hello Diana O, we're so sorry to hear about your experience.

A small island, connected to the mainland by a bridge with beautiful architecture. There are many restaurants with international cuisine, some also serve alcohol. The pedestrian area is very nicely arranged. On the waterfront promenade there are many stands selling ice cream, various sweets, snacks and soft drinks.
Also here you can find Ain Dubai, a large Ferris wheel. Unfortunately, it is currently not functional.

Visited this place thrice,it’s is a vibrant lifestyle destination featuring distinctive residential, retail, hospitality, and entertainment options. Worth visiting both in the day and night depending upon the weather. It has a great view of the sea, a choice of restaurants, amusement for children and even for senior citizens it’s a welcome area to accompany your family as it suits all ages and definitely an area worth visiting .

Pathetic experience. Spoiled the whole trip. Visited madame tussauds, but was jot informed or provided 3 hours free parking. When returning back and paying the parking ticket which was AED 160 for 8 hours, was informed hy the helpline that car's number plate is to be provided at the counter while purchase to avail the 3 hrs free parking. Then paid the parking in cash 135 AED and ran out of cash, there was not option to pay further by card or cancel the current parking and pay by card. When contacted helpline was told that have to re initiate the payment, ended up paying full 160 AED by card. Was charged parking twice. No customer assistance or support.

PROS
* Big beautiful area of restaurants, bars and stores
* Active night life
* Big promenade at the water of the marina as it enters the Arabian Sea
* Ain Dubai, the world's largest Ferris wheel, can be seen close-up (look at my "helpful" photos)
* Very scenic boardwalk-type walkway bridge over the water from Dubai Marina
* Great views of the Dubai Marina, especially at night
CONS
* No bicycles allowed
* Parking underneath is quite expensive
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"....
.... at least twice-
On our first evening in Dubai, we missed the turnover to our lodging in the Dubai Marina and ended up here. So we parked and explored all the restaurants, bars and stores. We saw the Ain Dubai from super-close (see my "helpful" photos) and we watched the 10pm laser lights display over the waters of the marina (again- see my very "helpful" photos).
After that, I returned at least twice on two separate pre-dawn/morning bicycle excursions. I loved to go with a Careem Bike from Dubai Marina to JBR and to race across the boardwalk-style bridge to Bluewaters Island, each time to be greeted and stopped by the 24 hour guard who prevents bicycle entry (see my "helpful" photos of my bicycle at the point where I was stopped).
ADVICES
* Yet another amazing recreation and entertainment place
* No bicycles 🚴
* Expensive parling

It is about 20 minutes walk to the next JBR tram station. Mostly open air, so not the best for summer .

Around 10 minutes if you’re coming from Sheraton Hotel JBR, it depends exactly where in JBR you will come from and the pace of your walk
