Dubai Creek

Dubai Creek (10 km)

Dubai Creek Experience

Drive along Dubai Creek, the lifeline and pulse of the city, which separates Deira to the north from Bur Dubai to the south. It’s a great opportunity to experience old Dubai, and being on the water provides respite from the oppressive daytime heat.

The pier is adjacent to the old market, and the abra boats only cost 1 dirham to ride – pay at the gate. Please note, there is no timetable; the boat waits until it is full (around 20 people) before it departs. If you have time to spare, consider waiting until the tour buses unload their passengers onto the boats to catch the next one. It’s much quieter and offers a more authentic experience riding with locals.
