H.E. 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

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 neighboring
markets in the region.”
