Holiday homes in Dubai Creek Harbour
A newer waterfront district by Ras Al Khor with skyline views, Creek Beach and some of the shortest airport drives in the city. Typical prices: AED 720–AED 1,860 / night.
Dubai Creek Harbour is a growing Emaar community of apartment towers on the edge of Dubai Creek, looking across to the Downtown skyline. Short stays are all apartments, and the area is quieter and more residential than Downtown or the Marina.
Creek Beach, a small lagoon-side beach with a boardwalk, and the waterfront promenades are the main draws within the community. It suits families, stopover travellers and guests who value airport access and calm over nightlife.
