Dubai Creek Harbour is one of Dubai’s most in-demand waterfront freehold communities, combining luxury residences, green open spaces, and long-term investment growth just minutes from Downtown.

About Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour is a master-planned waterfront development by Emaar Properties, set along the historic Dubai Creek. Designed as a future-ready urban district, it blends residential, commercial, and leisure spaces across 7.4 million sq. m. of residential area and 500,000 sq. m. of parks and open spaces.

Located near the protected Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, the community offers a rare mix of skyline views, waterfront promenades, and natural mangroves — something few Dubai neighbourhoods can match.

  • Waterfront mixed-use development by Emaar
  • Freehold area open to local and foreign buyers
  • 3 main districts: Creek Island, Creek Beach, and Mainland
  • Direct access to Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Nad Al Hamar Road (D62)
  • 10–15 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport
  • Upcoming Dubai Metro Blue Line station

Community Overview

Dubai Creek Harbour is envisioned as a fully integrated mega-community where residents can live, work and relax within one district. The master plan combines:

  • Residential towers and townhouses
  • Commercial offices and retail districts
  • Beachfront leisure zones
  • Hotels and branded residences
  • Parks, promenades, and marinas

Wide boulevards, pedestrian-friendly walkways, and cycling tracks create a walkable environment rarely seen in high-rise waterfront developments.

Master Plan & Districts

The development is divided into three key areas:

Creek Island

Creek Island is the most developed district, featuring high-rise waterfront towers and branded residences.

Key highlights include:

  • Approximately 700,000 sq. m. of green space
  • Luxury hotels such as Address Harbour Point and Vida Creek Harbour
  • Premium residential towers, including Creek Residences and Palace Residences

When completed, the wider community is expected to accommodate up to 200,000 residents.

Creek Beach

Creek Beach is a family-focused waterfront district positioned between the Island and the Mainland.

It features:

  • 700m of man-made white sand beach
  • Low- to mid-rise residential buildings
  • Retail promenade and cafés
  • Direct pedestrian bridges connecting districts

The beach lifestyle makes it one of the most attractive rental zones in the area.

Mainland District

The Mainland is divided into seven sub-districts:

  • Business District
  • Retail District
  • Sanctuary District
  • Urban District
  • North, Central, and South Park

The Retail District will host Dubai Square, expected to become one of Dubai’s largest shopping and entertainment hubs.

The Urban District is also home to the future Dubai Creek Tower, planned as a global architectural icon.
