These designs adhere to the highest global standards, ensuring the preservation

of the supporting walls' stability and safeguarding against increased flooding

during seasonal weather conditions." Al Hajri added.

Comprehensive work: The project's 14-month timeline includes the restoration of

the 2.1 km Deira pier, which involves replacement and the rehabilitation of

damaged sections of the concrete wall, reaching a depth of 8 meters and

increasing its height to 3 meters. These improvements aim to ensure the safe

docking of ships in the area.

By initiating this project, the Municipality aims to enhance services and facilities for

safe docking and navigation, which will be ensured through the provision of 200

anchors across the dock.

Dubai Creek is one of the most vital historic maritime channels in the Emirate,

marking the initiation of Dubai's trade interactions with the world over a century

ago.

Despite the extensive development in the Emirate of Dubai, the Creek continues

to maintain its historical, commercial, and economic importance, along with

modern projects prevalent in the emirate, in addition to serving as a significant

tourist hub for residents, visitors, and tourists. (ANI/WAM)
