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 AED 112 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. It aims to minimise disruptions to
commercial traffic caused by flooding or bad weather.

The project is set to be implemented in two phases - the first 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.
