Things to do
Dubai Creek is a natural saltwater estuary that was instrumental in transforming the city into a primary trading and fishing center. The creek, which separates the city into two parts, Deira and Bur Dubai, allows the visitors to see the old Dubai where the wooden dhows, traditional markets, and historic neighborhoods coexist with the modern development in the city.
Traditional Abra Rides
One of the most typical activities at Dubai Creek is to board a traditional abra boat for a ride. Although these rides are short, they still provide some of the best views of the creek, which include passing by the historic buildings, and the busy docks and at the same time seeing the traditional wooden dhows that are still used for transporting goods today.
Historic Districts Around the Creek
Deira: It is famous for Gold and Spice Souks. Bur Dubai: Its Al Fahidi Historical District and Dubai Museum are attractions. Heritage Areas: Old Emirati life is depicted through the narrow lanes, wind towers, and the restored traditional houses.
