About
An abra ride across Dubai Creek is one of Dubai's most authentic and affordable experiences. These traditional wooden boats have been ferrying passengers across the Creek for over a century. The short journey (5-10 minutes) offers wonderful views of both old Bur Dubai and Deira, with historic buildings, mosques, and the bustling waterfront. Abras depart from Bur Dubai Abra Station to either the Gold Souk or Spice Souk stations in Deira. At just AED 1 per crossing, it's the best bargain in Dubai.
