Rising above its namesake waterway, Dubai Creek Harbour lies between the city's historic and modern hubs. A serene space, its beautiful locales and vantage spots make it a welcome addition to the city’s neighbourhoods. Discover what you can do on a visit.
A 6km promenade along Dubai Creek gives you ample opportunities to admire the city’s prominent landmarks, including Burj Khalifa, from across the water. Adding to the atmosphere is the sight of boats bobbing in the marina or gently gliding by.
Bring a camera along for photographs of (or with) many dynamic art installations. You’ll come across an oversized bouquet of metallic blooms, a flock of larger-than-life pink flamingos, fascinating marine creatures and even vibrant butterflies.
If you like to follow the flavours, you’ll want to uncover all the eats at this emerging district. Start with the waterfront sprinkle of food trucks before moving onto experiential gastronomy concepts like Mondoux. Or, try Soulgreen for sustainable plant-based fare.
Take a few moments to fully soak up panoramic views, and contemplate the juxtaposition of old and new at The Viewing Point. This innovative observation deck is a 70m walkway projecting 26m over the water – and is free to use.
The area is home to high-end hotels like Vida Creek Harbour Dubai and Address Grand Creek Harbour. Guests can check in to either property to enjoy Dubai’s quieter side with indulgent amenities and exceptional waterfront living.
