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
landmarks.'
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 attractive
purpose-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.
