In spite of the fact that Marina is not an originally Arabic word, it became a slang and it's locally used on a daily basis.

Studio design
The studio is considered to be the first of its own in the Middle East, The studio is located on the second floor of the mall, with a view to the ground floor where it's easy to see the mall visitors which creates a unique atmosphere compared to the closed studios.
