Port Rashid is the main port in Dubai, where both cruise and commercial ships dock. Opened in 1972, the man made port was named after Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and is also known as Mina Rashid.
Its location in the centre of the city is particularly convenient for those who are visiting for just a short amount of time, as visitors are not far away from some fantastic attractions. The infamous and majestic Dubai Mall is just a ten minute taxi drive away. Or, for a cultural fix, the impressive and colourful Bur Dubai Grand Mosque is close by, or why not visit the House of Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum Museum to learn more about the origins of the current ruling family.
Nearby you can also find a variety of restaurants, shops, and bazaars to get some unique Arabic souveneirs.
