Port Rashid is a man-made cruise terminal in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was Dubai's first commercial port; in 2018 cargo operations moved to Jebel Ali Port. It is a seafront coastal destination, tourist cruise destination, and residential area. It is the permanent home of Queen Elizabeth 2.

History
The port is named after Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum and it was opened in 1972. At the time the port only had two gantry cranes and a capacity of less than 100,000 TEUs. All cargo operations will move to Jebel Ali Port by the end of March 2018. ==Queen Elizabeth 2==
Queen Elizabeth 2
Port Rashid is the current location of the former Cunard Ocean Liner Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) which arrived there on 26 November 2008 at the end of her final voyage for the company before being handed over to her new owners. In March 2017, a Dubai-based construction company announced it had been contracted to refurbish the ship. The restored QE2 opened as a floating hotel on 18 April 2018. ==References==
