Dubai Creek Harbour is Emaar's most ambitious waterfront master-planned community, a 6 square kilometre development on the banks of the historic Dubai Creek that will eventually house Dubai Creek Tower. The project transforms a former industrial waterfront into a contemporary urban district with views of the old city skyline and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary flamingo reserve. Significant capital appreciation potential exists as Creek Tower is completed and the district activates.
