Dubai Creek
The only natural attraction in our list, the Dubai Creek is a narrow saltwater waterway that divides Dubai into two separate regions. A remnant of Dubai's traditional economy, it played a very important role in the establishment, growth and development of the city. Pay a visit to the creek and enjoy the historical and cultural vibes. It is a truly fascinating experience to stand at the creek's bank and watch the dhows sailing in and out. Witnessing the sunrise and sunset over the horizon of Dubai Creek are blissful moments to be enjoyed.
With the incredible variety of attractions and unparalleled family entertainment opportunities that Dubai offers you, you're sure to walk away from the City of Gold with memories that will last a lifetime.
