Dubai Creek

The 14km (8.7-mile) Dubai Creek is a natural seawater inlet that divides the city of Dubai into two parts - Deira Dubai and Bur Dubai - and is the heart and soul of the city. A wildlife sanctuary that's home to over 27,000 birds has been set up at the inland end of the creek. Reflecting the wealth of one of the fastest growing economies in the world, boutique hotels, golf courses and yachting clubs have sprang up along the creek's banks.
