Dubai Creek

The waterway where Dubai began – wooden abras and old trade.

Cross from Bur Dubai to Deira on a traditional abra for 1 AED, then wander the Spice and Gold Souks. The Creek is the soul of historic Dubai.

Why visit

The cheapest, most authentic experience in the city.

Traveller tips

Bring small AED notes for the abra. Visit the souks after sunset for atmosphere.
