• Deira Old Souk Abra Station - Abra Creek Crossing
  Cross Dubai Creek by Abra

The bustling Dubai Creek has been the lifeblood of locals for generations, serving as the favored site for early settlers and the city’s first port and pearling industry. Today, it remains a lively spot, attracting visitors year-round.

The first route goes from Deira Old Souk Abra Station (near the Spice Souk) to Bur Dubai Abra Station (west of the Textile Souk). The second, busier route, runs continuously from Al Sabkha Abra Station (just southwest of Baniyas Square) to Dubai Old Souk Abra Station.
