Also known as Khor Dubai, the natural Dubai creek from the Arabian Gulf extends for 14 kilometers, and it is more than just a relaxing area to walk in Dubai while enjoying the breeze it brings. It's also home to local restaurants, activities and things to do in Dubai that both tourists and residents love!
Dubai Creek
The bustling Dubai Creek has been the lifeblood of the city for generations and continues to attract visitors year-round. You can board one of many traditional boats to cross the creek that separates Bur Dubai from Deira, downtown Dubai.
Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbor
This type of boat or 'water taxi' runs every few minutes during the day through the battles along the Dubai Creek. The first line goes from Deira Old Souk Abra station to Bur Dubai Abra station. The second, much busier line runs continuously from Al Sabkha Abra Station to Dubai Old Souk Abra Station.

This majestic creek divides the city of Dubai into two halves - Bur Dubai to the southwest is a traditional center of town. Middle Eastern architectural styles embrace this area. Despite its simple appearance, you can witness the allure of Dubai's ancient moral culture.
