Dubai [UAE], February 25 (ANI/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 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.

Global Reputation: 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 artery at the heart of Dubai.
Facilitating the passage of over 13,000 ships annually, it plays a key role in fostering the
economic and social prosperity of the emirate. Additionally, the creek further supports
commercial dealings with neighbouring markets in the region."
