HeritageGolden hourCheap thrill

The Creek is where Dubai actually began, and the best way to cross it is the way everyone always has: a wooden abra from Bur Dubai to Deira for a single dirham, past dhows unloading by hand. Go at golden hour; stay on for a second crossing and pick a different dhow.
