Dubai Creek Harbour
Emaar's next waterfront district - new towers, a marina promenade and the future Creek Tower.
Dubai Creek Harbour is one of the largest waterfront developments underway in the city, built along the historic Creek beside the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a phased masterplan, which means the community is still filling in - and that is precisely why off-plan buyers watch it closely.
Where it is
The Creek sits east of Downtown Dubai, reachable in minutes via Ras Al Khor Road, with Dubai International Airport close by. The setting is unusual for Dubai: waterfront on one side, a protected flamingo sanctuary on the other.
Who it suits
Off-plan buyers and investors, mostly, along with end users who want new-build waterfront without Marina pricing. Because the community is delivered in phases, buyers here tend to be thinking in terms of a two-to-four year horizon rather than moving in next month.
What you can buy
Predominantly apartments in mid and high-rise towers, with some villa and townhouse stock in the wider masterplan. New phases release regularly - Creek Haven, Creek Bay and Valia are among the current Emaar launches. Waterfront and skyline-facing units are priced distinctly.
Living there
Creek Marina and the promenade anchor the dining and leisure side, with retail growing as phases complete. The wildlife sanctuary and creek walks are genuinely distinctive - there is nowhere else in Dubai with that outlook.
Buying at Dubai Creek Harbour
We handle both off-plan releases and resale across the community. If you are choosing between current launches, the useful comparison is payment plan structure and handover timing as much as price per square foot - we can lay those out side by side.
Where it is

- Views back across the creek to the Downtown skyline
- Almost all new-build apartments, handed over since 2019

Common questions about Dubai Creek Harbour
Is it a finished community yet?
Partly - the first island is largely complete and lived-in, but large sections are still under construction.
How are the views?
The prized units look across the water to the Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline.
Better for investment or living?
Good for both - modern stock, competitive new-build prices, and rents rising as amenities open.
