While the vibrant Dubai city is known for being advanced on many fronts, it also upholds its cultural heritage.

You’ll spot fishing boats on the waters among glimmering views of the Dubai Skyline. Visitors can explore the historic Dubai Creek in Bur Dubai by crossing the canal on an abra, the traditional dhow boat or “water taxi” that’ll give you a waterway tour as you shimmy along the Arabian waters and marvel at the sights around you. You can even get a water taxi from here to other parts of the city, like the Marina.
