Waterfront Living on the Creek
Dubai Creek Harbour is a master planned waterfront community by Emaar on the banks of Dubai Creek, right next to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. It combines high rise apartment towers, a marina, a beach and wide promenades, with views back across the water to the Downtown Dubai skyline.
Where Creek Harbour is
The community sits on the eastern side of Dubai Creek, between Ras Al Khor Road and the creek itself. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are a short drive away, and Dubai International Airport is close by. There is no metro station inside the community today; a station is planned on the future Dubai Metro Blue Line.
Property types in Creek Harbour
- Apartments from one bedroom to penthouses, most in towers facing the creek, the marina or the skyline.
- Waterfront residences along Creek Island and Creek Beach.
- A large share of off plan and recently completed buildings, so buyers can choose between ready and future handovers.
Lifestyle
Residents use the Creek Marina promenade, Creek Beach and the green spaces along the water. Flamingos can be seen in the neighbouring wildlife sanctuary. Cafes and retail sit at the base of many towers, and Dubai Festival City is just across the creek for bigger shopping trips.
