A trip on an Abra
The most beautiful and picturesque location in Dubai, Dubai Creek is a natural seawater inlet cutting in the heart of the city. The enchanting view of a large number of colorful and traditional Arab dhows, abras (motorized boat taxis) and sleek yachts with water birds splashing all over never fails to mesmerize its spectators. Walking along the Creek or enjoying an abra ride on the Creek is the best way to explore the beauty and charm of Dubai. The spectacular view of Dubai's skyline would surely make a spell bound effect on you.
It is the historic point of Dubai. Large number of people including locals and tourists take a long walk along the banks of the creek which also marks the centuries-old trading traditions.
We took the traditional boats that will take us on a charming one-hour long trip from the Abra embarkation points to the tip of the creek; inland to the Maktoum Bridge that passes on the way to the city's historic and modern landmarks.
On an enjoyable abra ride up to Al-Maktoum Bridge, we can see the grand trading port. Walking around and exploring the dhow wharfage on the Deira side of Dubai Creek with a large number of vessel and ships waiting to be unloaded or queuing for their onward journey provide us an amazing view to its spectators and would surely be a unique and rewarding experience for us.
