The Creek Dubai
This historic focal point of life in Dubai, The Creek, a natural sea-water inlet which cuts through the centre of the city. It is very interesting to see the colour and bustle of the loading and unloading of dhows which still ply
ancient trade routes to places as distant as India and East Africa.
An attractive way to view the Creek and the dhows is from an abra,one of the small water taxis which criss-cross the Creek from the souks
of Deira to those on the Bur Dubai side.
Boatmen will also take visitors on a fascinating hour-long trip from the
abra embarkation points to the mouth of the Creek and inland to the Maktoum Bridge, passing on the way many of the city’s historic and modern
Redevelopment work has transformed parts of the Creek’s banks. On
the Deira side, a broad and well-lit, paved promenade extends from the Corniche, which faces on the Arabian Gulf, all the way to the attractivepurpose-built dhow terminal constructed beside Maktoum Bridge
On the Bur Dubai side between Maktoum and Garhoud bridges,
Creekside Park provides pleasant paved walks and extensive landscaped public gardens.
At the inland end of the Creek is a large, shallow lagoon, now a wildlife sanctuary which has become a haven for migrating shore birds
Some 27,000 birds have been counted here at one time during the autumn
migration. The most spectacular are the many Greater Flamingos which
have made the Creek their permanent home

Dear Sanadubai- may I also thank you for such a lovely thread- last weekend I was a tourist in Dubai and we spent the afternoon at Al Bastikyah by the Creek- it was a afternoon of exploring each path that took you to a den of suprises!!!- iranian pottery to copper pots to calligraphy to modern contemporary prints- a fascinating afternoon ( although expensive) but definitely worth it !!!This part of Dubai certainly captures the recent history of Dubai- but a part that is often siloutted agiainst the mammoth grandeur and superficiality- thanks for this!!!!
