Dubai [UAE], February 25 (ANI/WAM): 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 AED112 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: 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.
