2/26/24, 11:11 AM Dubai Municipality initiates project to develop Dubai Creek pier, upgrade support walls

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. (ANI/WAM)
