Comprehensive work
The project's 14-month timeline includes the restoration of the 2.1 km Deira pier, which
involves replacement and the rehabilitation of damaged sections of the concrete wall,
reaching a depth of 8 meters and increasing its height to 3 meters. These improvements
aim to ensure the safe docking of ships in the area.

By initiating this project, the Municipality aims to enhance services and facilities for safe

docking and navigation, which will be ensured through the provision of 200 anchors across
the dock.

Dubai Creek is one of the most vital historic maritime channels in the Emirate, marking the
initiation of Dubai’s trade interactions with the world over a century ago.

Despite the extensive development in the Emirate of Dubai, the Creek continues to maintain
its historical, commercial, and economic importance, along with modern projects prevalent
in the emirate, in addition to serving as a significant tourist hub for residents, visitors, and
tourists.
