Dubai Creek, Natural saltwater inlet in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Dubai Creek extends 14 kilometers inland from the Persian Gulf, creating a natural division between the districts of Deira and Bur Dubai.

The creek underwent significant dredging operations in 1961 to accommodate vessels with drafts up to 2.1 meters, surpassing the maritime capabilities of Sharjah.

Traditional wooden dhow boats line the creek's banks, maintaining centuries of maritime traditions through fishing activities and tourist excursions.

The Green Line of Dubai Metro and water taxis provide transportation options for visitors to explore both sides of the waterway.

The Dubai Creek Harbour development includes plans for multiple islands and new bridges to enhance connectivity across the water.
