Explore the magnificent marina
We may not all be able to moor a vessel in Creek Marina but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it. The sight is spectacular nestled among stunning towers and looking out to the water, enjoy the beautifully presented promenade for a walk and quick stop at a food truck, or sit back and relax in one of the many restaurants. Filled with art and culture, as well as great retail and recreational options this is a part of Dubai Creek Harbour that is always alive.
Hop on a cruise
Celebrating the past and the future is a key focus in Dubai Creek Harbour, and you can do both on the water. Get on a water cruise to sail up the Creek onto the Dubai Canal and enjoy Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Waterfall. Or, you can hop on an Abra and head to Old Dubai and all the character it contains. Two very different routes, two incredible experiences.
Stroll along the promenade
