Everything you need to know about Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour is quickly becoming one of the most sought after communities in Dubai. What’s not to love about this vibrant, family friendly neighbourhood? Developed by Emaar in 2019, it offers a fresh, modern feel and is still in its early stages, making it both an exciting place to live and an ideal community to invest in.
 

What are the plans to develop the rest of this community?

Although only 20% of Dubai Creek Harbour has been developed so far, residents are already enjoying life on Creek Island — a thoughtfully designed, vibrant neighbourhood that sets the standard for what’s to come. There are extensive plans to expand, including improvements to connectivity, new residential developments, promenades, parks, and the much anticipated Dubai Creek Tower. These projects are already underway, with more developments set to transform the area into a world class destination.

Existing amenities

Despite ongoing developments, Dubai Creek Harbour already offers several landmarks:

  • The Viewing Point: Provides panoramic views of the city and the creek.
  • Central Park: A green oasis offering recreational spaces for families and individuals.
  • Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary: A protected area home to diverse flora and fauna, including migratory birds.
  • Hotels: Establishments like Vida Creek Harbour and Address Creek Harbour provide luxurious accommodations for visitors.
