DUBAI
Facilities
- The rowing academy is based in the beautiful Palm Jumeirah East Marina.
- Set within the marina we have a dedicated launch pontoon and boat / equipment racking and storage, toilets, showers and changing facilities.
- Olympic / classical rowing requires flat and calm water with limited motor boat traffic. With flat water almost guaranteed within the marina area and inside the Palm Jumeirah crescent, there is no better place to row in Dubai!
- There are also restaurants, bars, coffee shops and supermarket in the marina area, so some great places to relax with fellow crew members after an outing!
