The Dubai Municipality has announced the completion of a two-kilometre-long Dubai Creek wharf on the Deira side, built at a cost of AED 112 million.
The project aims to strengthen the quay’s infrastructure, improve operational efficiency and reinforce the historical waterway’s commercial and tourism appeal.
Works included increasing the retaining wall height to 8.3 metres and equipping the quay with 200 anchors and 500 ship berths. These upgrades enhance maritime navigation safety and bolster the creek’s ability to handle a variety of commercial and tourism-related activities.
