Took a boat trip around the creek. It was the same things that Dubai is famed for. More tall buildings of corporate companies and hotels. Did see the trade boats.

A ride on the Dubai Creek is a must. The narrator on the boat is informative and the ride lasts about 60 minutes. Great photo opportunities for the modern and old Dubai. Very relaxing. You can sit indoors or on the second level. The second level is covered with a canopy with some seating in the direct sun.

Not as old as some cities we have been to but it seemed to be the "working' side of Dubai. The river taxis, the markets, the smell of the spices etc for sale simply add to the character of the place. A must see if you are to see Dubai in its entirety.

and is the right speed to soak in the Dubai gone by and still co-existing with its glamorous cousin Downtown Dubai

We went up the Creek on a dinner cruise, which was fabulous. Although its just building after building, but luckily the food was some of the best we had ever tasted.

The old soukh is nice to see. You can have a drink on the terrace on the water and make a little tour in the water in a dow. The market is not that large, but nice if you like bargaining.

Take a little wooden boat called an Abra to get across the creek - they go back and forth the creek all the time so you don't have to wait long...and it's a great way to get across to the Gold and Spice Souks. Just pay the driver. Best to have the right money. And enjoy the view!

The creek area is vibrant and exciting and is a must do when in Dubai. An Abra trip across it only costs 1 Dirham and the many cruises are reasonably priced. The creek dissects the old part of the city and holds the location for the spice and gold souks on one side and the silk souks on the other.... More

everything you need you will find it there.., i enjoy with all my friends and family.., i love the time i was there.
