Dubai Municipality has launched a Dhs 112 million project to rebuild and upgrade the supporting
walls along the Deira side of Dubai Creek. This initiative aims to improve the effectiveness of the

creek's retaining walls, reconstruct damaged sections, and prevent potential flooding during harsh

weather, thereby reducing disruptions to commercial traffic.

The project will be carried out in two phases. The first phase focuses on restoring a 2.1km stretch

along the Deira side, which will be divided into segments to ensure uninterrupted docking traffic. The
second phase will cover a 2.3km length on the Bur Dubai side.

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.
