summary

This Saltwater Creek is one of the largest ports in the UAE, dividing the city and connecting the trading port to the desert. This river, which extends to the Persian Gulf and the wildlife sanctuary, serves as a commercial lifeline, facilitating not just tourism but also shipping, trade, and commercial activity. This is a popular area to visit in the evening. See the light and music shows, as well as the floating and moving dhows, yachts, boats, and vessels, to get a picture of old Dubai during the trade times. A delicious meal and a beautiful sky are all you need to end your adventure and trip on a high note!

The creek was built with the goal of creating a customs and import duty-free trade zone, as well as making Dubai a major trading hub for merchants and traders from throughout the world. Surrounded by the Deira twin towers, Dubai Creek Towers, and the Sheraton Dubai Creek, this port is a great blend of traditions and modern living, and it complements the city's overall architecture. This creek, also known as River Zara, is a particularly scenic location that draws crowds due to its traditional appeal, which distinguishes it from the neighbouring high-rise constructions. It offers the city a fresh identity and encourages the marine trade.
