Great experience for only 1 dirham per person, although a little hair raising Easy way to travel between souk areas, and only takes a few minutes

Another Dubai must do. We just crossed to the gold souk but at only 1 AED a great experience. We loved it.

Fun time crossing Deira creek with the locals. Very short 2-3 minute ride across the creek. Gets you to Deira where you can shop at the Spice Souk or Gold Souk.

A river is usually at the heart of a city and this one is no exception. Hop on a dhow for the crossing to the Old Souks where you can wander around spice stores, gold stores, souvenir stores and all manner of great stuff. The store owners are friendly and fun-loving if you approach them in the same way. Be... More

Wonderful experience for AED1 to cross from old dock to Deira. You can go to souk from here. Excellent experience

Chaotic and crowded but well-worth it. No rails on abra but felt safe. A great way to see the creek, mosque and palace. I did it a few times, just because I could!

Authentic, real working dock. not many thing are "real" in Dubai as opposed to created to fake something else in the world, but this dock is the real thing; serves a purpose and has been around since Dubai has been.

It's almost like bumper boats but what an atmosphere. 1 Dh and you get to cross the creek and see so much on the way. For tourists and locals alike. Noisy, smelly, old school, fun.

Take the Abra (boat) all for yourself (family, friends), including a tour of the bay. It is a bit scary with no rails, nor life vests, so be carefull with children
