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
