“Over 13,000 ships cross Dubai Creek annually”
Dubai, UAE: 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 AED 112 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
minimize 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.

H.E. 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.
