Dubai Creek safety

The project is set to be implemented in two phases, with the initial phase

involving the restoration of a 2.1km 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 2.3km length on the Bur Dubai side.

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.
