Dubai Creek

The Dubai Creek flows between Bur Dubai and Deira, and is the historic focal point of Dubai, signifying where trade with the outside world began more than a century ago.

When you visit Dubai Creek, be sure to take a traditional abra water taxi from one side to the other to fully experience how Dubai Creek defines the city. The shimmering water, traditional dhows, historic houses, modern buildings, and lively souks and maritime trade will give you a first-hand view of Dubai’s development into a global commercial hub.
