2/26/24, 11:07 AM Dubai Municipality Initiates Project to Develop Dubai Creek Pier, Upgrade Support Walls
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.
