About Al Majara 1
Al Majara 1 is a 35-storey residential tower on the northern shore of Dubai Marina, developed by Emaar Properties and completed in 2005. It is the first of five numbered towers, Al Majara 1 through Al Majara 5, that together make up the Al Majara complex next to the Dubai Marina Yacht Club. The tower holds one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
This guide covers Al Majara 1 specifically. It is not the same building as Al Majara 2, Al Majara 3, 4 or 5, and owners researching this address should confirm which numbered tower a listing actually refers to before relying on any building-specific detail here. Al Majara 2, the neighbouring tower in the same complex, is covered in its own separate guide, Al Majara 2, Dubai Marina.
Developer and storey count are corroborated by two independent building-guide portals fetched directly for this guide: Bayut states Al Majara 1 is a 35-storey building developed by Emaar Properties, and Propsearch.ae's own Al Majara 1 page states the same, 35 storeys. Zeus Capital's project comparison page lists a build year of April 2005, completed. A content-build-queue entry for this building had recorded the developer as Dubai Properties; that figure is superseded here by the two-source Emaar Properties consensus, which also matches the developer already stated on the sibling Al Majara 2 guide live on this site. Separately, a secondary aggregated source suggested a lower storey count (around 29) for Al Majara 1, which could not be independently verified against either portal's own individual building page in this pass; the two directly-verified sources above are used here rather than the unverified figure. No independently published per-building unit count exists for Al Majara 1 specifically; the five-tower Al Majara complex totals approximately 1,100 units combined, per Propsearch.ae.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Al Majara 1 sits within Dubai Marina, on the northern shore of the Marina waterway next to the Dubai Marina Yacht Club, in the same stretch of the district as Marina Mansions and Silverene Towers. Owners comparing this address against the wider district can read Royale Stays’ guide to Airbnb management across Dubai Marina for the fuller picture.
Marina Walk, Dubai Marina Mall and the Marina’s waterfront promenade all sit within the immediate area, with JBR’s beachfront a short distance further along the coastline. The Dubai Marina and DMCC Metro stations on the Red Line serve the district, alongside the Marina tram line.
Other Dubai Marina buildings in the same general stretch of the community that Royale Stays has covered separately include Marina Mansions, which Bayut’s own nearby-buildings data names Al Majara as a direct neighbour of, Silverene Towers, also named on that same list, and Marina Promenade, useful reference points for owners researching this part of the Marina.
Unit Types
Al Majara 1 holds a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments across its 35 storeys, per Bayut and Propsearch.ae. No independently published total unit count exists for this specific tower; the wider five-tower Al Majara complex totals approximately 1,100 units combined. No floor-plan diagrams are included in this guide: floor plans are typically the developer’s or broker’s proprietary material and aren’t reproduced here.
Amenities
As with most Dubai Marina residential towers of comparable scale and age, Al Majara 1 likely includes standard building amenities such as a shared swimming pool, a gym and covered parking, alongside direct proximity to Marina Walk and the waterfront promenade. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a specific building-wide amenities list for this pass, so no exact list is stated as confirmed fact here rather than guessed at.
Transportation & Access
The Dubai Marina and DMCC Metro stations on the Red Line serve the wider district, along with the tram line that runs through Marina Walk toward JBR. Sheikh Zayed Road gives the wider Marina direct access to Downtown Dubai and the rest of the city, though Royale Stays has not confirmed an exact walking or drive distance from Al Majara 1 itself.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed rents specific to Al Majara 1 in this pass, so the figure below describes Dubai Marina’s rental market at an area level rather than this particular building. Across Dubai Marina generally, one-bedroom apartments currently rent for roughly AED 95,000 to AED 140,000 per year, the same area-level range already published on the neighbouring Al Majara 2 guide. Two- and three-bedroom apartments command proportionally higher rents, though no reliable area-level figure is available yet for those configurations.
Service charges specific to Al Majara 1 were not able to be reliably confirmed against DLD’s Mollak index in this pass, so no figure is stated here rather than an estimate presented as fact. Owners weighing a specific unit’s earning potential against these area-level rental ranges can run their own numbers through Royale Stays’ Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Al Majara 1, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. Royale Stays’ guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
The keyword gate for this building resolved an initial NEEDS_REVIEW verdict to a pass on the basis that Al Majara 1 is a legitimately separate, distinctly numbered tower within a mature, well-established Dubai Marina freehold complex with existing short-term-rental and holiday-home activity, the same complex as the neighbouring Al Majara 2, already covered on this site. Royale Stays has not independently re-confirmed a fresh operator or listing signal for Al Majara 1 itself in this pass, and states that honestly rather than overclaiming proof. Across Royale Stays’ own managed portfolio in Dubai Marina, a well-run one-bedroom apartment earns roughly AED 120,000 to AED 165,000 gross per year at typical occupancy, with net income after management fees and operating costs typically landing around AED 80,000 to AED 110,000, the same range already published on the Al Majara 2 guide for this immediate location.
