“Over 13,000 ships cross Dubai Creek annually”

Dubai, UAE: 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. 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

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

prosperity.
