His Excellency Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, stated that the project highlights Dubai
Municipality’s commitment to transforming Dubai into a more attractive and innovative city by enhancing various

elements and services it offers through the strategic and sustainable development of all coastal facilities and
infrastructure in the Emirate. The goal is to solidify Dubai’s position as a global tourism hub and augment its

economic and commercial prosperity.

Highlighting the importance of this project, His Excellency Dawoud Al Hajri, added, "The project is set to improve
security and safety measures for maritime traffic and commercial operations within Dubai Creek."

Project Duration

Over 14 months, the project will involve replacing and rehabilitating damaged sections of the concrete wall along

the 2.1km Deira pier. The depth of the wall will be increased to 8 metres, and its height raised to 3 metres to
facilitate the safe docking of ships.

Further Enhancements By Dubai Municipality

Dubai Municipality plans to enhance services and facilities for safe docking and navigation by installing 200

anchors across the dock. Dubai Creek holds significant historical, commercial, and economic importance, serving
as a vital maritime channel for over a century. Despite Dubai's extensive development, the Creek remains a

key attraction, attracting residents, visitors, and tourists alike. It continues to play a crucial role in trade
interactions and tourism, preserving its historical significance while integrating modern projects to meet

contemporary needs.
