Dubai Creek

Dubai Creek flows through the Emirates historic heart. For just one dirham, abra rides provide boatloads of nostalgia while travelling between the souks and museums of Deira and Bur Dubai.

These heritage hubs recall the Bedouins’ humble and ancient past built on pearls, and then shaped by a free trade boom that brought new settlers to the creek in the early 1900’s.

Echoing that era, today’s expats – some descendants of those early traders – share authentic flavours from their homelands in a culinary kaleidoscope that compliments Emirati fare.

Popular food tours:

Food tours are a popular way to explore Dubai Creek. Arva Ahmed is the founder of Frying Pan Adventures.

She describes one of the restaurants that features on the tour's itinerary.

"One of the restaurants we stop on our tour is called Sultan Dubai Falafel," she says. "And the thing that they are known for is stuffed falafels. They stuff them with chilli, onion and sumac. These falafels are the most juiciest most filled with herbs and fragrant falafels that you’re going to find in the city."
