Dubai Creek Waterfront (Deira Side)
Historic waterfront promenade with dhow views and traditional ambiance
About
The Deira side of Dubai Creek offers one of the most authentic experiences of old Dubai. The waterfront is lined with traditional wooden dhows loading and unloading goods, much as they have for centuries. Walking along the corniche, you'll see cargo heading to Iran, East Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. The best time to visit is early morning or around sunset when the light is magical. Take an abra (water taxi) across to Bur Dubai for the complete experience.
