DUBAI / WAM

Dubai Municipality has implemented a project to rebuild and rehabilitate the supporting walls along the Deira

side of Dubai Creek, with a total expense of AED112 million.
The project aims to enhance the effectiveness of the creek’s retaining walls by upgrading the dock,

reconstructing sections that have been damaged and dilapidated over the past 50 years, and preventing
potential flooding during harsh weather conditions. This effort aims to minimise disruptions to commercial
traffic caused by flooding or bad weather. The project is set to be implemented in two phases, with the initial

phase involving the restoration of a 2.1 km stretch along the Deira side of Dubai Creek. The site will be
divided into multiple sections, and each segment will be sequentially patterned to ensure uninterrupted

docking traffic. The second phase will cover a 2.3 km length on the Bur Dubai side.

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.
Al Hajri said, “The project is set to improve security and safety measures for maritime traffic and commercial

operations within Dubai Creek. As a significant symbol of the city’s growth, Dubai Creek serves as a vibrant
