- Dubai Creek - All the main bazaars are located along the shores of the saltwater Dubai Creek, which can easily be mistaken for a river.

It remains bustling with boats, ships, and water taxis, transporting about 20,000 locals and tourists daily. Take a traditional boat across the Creek to enjoy stunning views of the city from the water. This is an ideal way to travel between souks located on both shores. Situated in the heart of Dubai, the creek divides the city into two parts, forming the Deira district of old Dubai, representing its historic origins, and Bur Dubai with its modern futuristic skyscrapers.
