The Community

A city drawn along the water

Dubai Creek Harbour is Emaar's 6-million-square-metre waterfront master plan on the banks of the historic Dubai Creek — the trading artery the city grew from.

Set between Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport, the community stretches along kilometres of boardwalk facing the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, where thousands of flamingos winter on protected wetlands. Across the water, the Burj Khalifa skyline frames every sunset.

Twice the size of Downtown Dubai, the master plan weaves residential islands, a 700-metre white-sand beach, an 81-berth superyacht marina, parks, schools, mosques and five-star Address and Vida hotels into one connected waterfront city — anchored by the future Dubai Creek Tower.

For buyers and investors, Dubai Creek Harbour combines Emaar’s delivery track record with freehold ownership, construction-linked payment plans and some of the strongest rental demand in the city. New phases release regularly, and early registrants get first access to launch pricing.

The Master Plan

Six districts, one shoreline

Each neighbourhood of Dubai Creek Harbour has its own rhythm — island towers, beachfront family homes, park-side apartments — stitched together by the creek boardwalk.

  • Sunset over the Creek Island promenade with Burj Khalifa across the water at Dubai Creek Harbour

    Creek Island

    The beating heart of the harbour

    Home to Creek Marina, the Address hotels and the future Dubai Creek Tower, Creek Island is the flagship district — waterfront towers, a yacht-lined promenade and Central Park at its core.

  • Infinity pool and palm trees beside the Dubai Creek Harbour sign at Creek Beach

    Creek Beach

    700 metres of white-sand shoreline

    A family favourite: a sheltered white-sand beach on the creek, infinity pools, splash pads and low-rise residences steps from the water — urban beach living minutes from Downtown Dubai.

  • Families at an illuminated evening plaza in Dubai Creek Harbour

    Green Gate

    The green gateway to the community

    A district woven around landscaped parks and shaded walkways, connecting the community to the city with retail-lined boulevards and contemporary apartment living.

  • Quiet mooring jetty and yacht facing the misty Dubai skyline at The Cove, Dubai Creek Harbour

    The Cove

    Serene creek-front living

    Quiet, elegant waterfront residences facing the Ras Al Khor sanctuary — sunset views over the water, boardwalk cafés and a slower rhythm within the mega-community.

  • Yacht masts silhouetted at Creek Marina during a dramatic sunset at Dubai Creek Harbour

    Creek Marina

    An 81-berth superyacht marina

    The social centrepiece of the harbour: a world-class marina with berths for superyachts, waterfront dining, boutique retail and year-round events on the promenade.

  • Palm-lined pool deck at dawn within the landscaped grounds of Dubai Creek Harbour

    Central Park

    Acres of green in the sky-lined city

    A vast landscaped park threading through the island district — jogging loops, play areas and event lawns framed by the Dubai skyline across the water.
