Area guide
Dubai Creek Harbour
Calm waterfront with views of the skyline
A newer waterfront district on the Creek with skyline views, next to the Ras Al Khor flamingo sanctuary.
Dubai Creek Harbour is a waterfront development on the upper Creek, beside the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, where flamingos gather in the cooler months. Its promenade looks across the water to the Downtown skyline.
Why stay here
It is calmer than Downtown, with modern hotels, waterfront walks and wide views, yet still about 15 minutes by road from Burj Khalifa.
What to know
The district is still growing and has no Metro station yet, so plan on taxis or ride-hailing.
