About Dubai Creek Harbour
Dubai Creek Harbour is a waterfront community by Emaar Properties on Dubai Creek, beside the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. The development covers around 6 square kilometres and is divided into nine districts.
The Island District is one of the main residential areas, centred around the marina, waterfront promenade and high-rise towers, while Creek Beach is built around a 700-metre swimmable beach with low-rise residences. Other districts are planned for parks, offices, retail and future projects such as Dubai Square.
Location & Connectivity
Dubai Creek Harbour is located on the eastern side of Dubai Creek, connected to the rest of Dubai through Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Nad Al Hamar Road, with access to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay.
Currently, most residents rely on private cars, taxis and ride-hailing services. The Dubai Metro Blue Line will add a station in the district, giving residents a direct link to the wider metro network.
