Property investors can enjoy a touch of Venetian living in Amwaj Island's 'Floating City'.
Al Marsa Floating City is the 'waterfront' housing project where all 215 villas, chalets and apartments are surrounded by a 2.5 metre deep canal. The city situated in the north-eastern tip of Muharraq is designed for those who want to invest in a first-home, a holiday retreat or even a property to retire in.
Private yachts and jet skies can be parked right outside for easy transport around the island or for the simple pleasures of entertainment.
The city currently consists of supermarkets and will include a shopping mall, banks, a souq, a banquet hall, school and a yacht club.
At the moment there is a lovely three-bedroom princess duplex for rent within the city. The home is fully furnished and equipped with all the amenities to create a comfortable dwelling. The entire house is laid out with dark and light parquet flooring, with the exception of the kitchen and terrace, which are tiled.
The cozy kitchen is fitted with top-of-the-range home appliances and a breakfast bar leading to the quaint dining area and cloakroom. The spacious living room boasts lovely views of the rear garden and the canal and patio furniture is already set up on the shaded veranda for residents to enjoy.
The living room includes a lounge area and a plasma screen television with cable. The upstairs consists of three bedrooms, which are all fitted with plasma TVs.
The master bedroom is the largest in size and is connected to the second room by a long terrace.
It also includes a separate dressing area with built-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with tub.
The other two bedrooms also feature built-in wardrobes and ensuite shower rooms.
The villa also has a shaded garage.
