About Dubai Creek abra crossing

Wooden abras have crossed Dubai Creek for decades and still run as ordinary public transport between Bur Dubai and Deira. The crossing takes about five minutes.

What it costs: AED 1 per person, paid in cash to the driver once you are seated.

Our advice: this is the single best value experience in Dubai. Take the public abra, not the AED 120 “tourist” charter, unless you specifically want a longer sightseeing loop. Boats leave when full, which is usually every couple of minutes.
