FUN WAY TO CROSS THE CREEK!!

Quick simple trip to Deira souk( market). 1 dirham each way!! Lot of fun, if have small children I would recommend bigger ABRA, I didn't see any life jackets which was concerning for children traveling the "Creek".

Great little boat ride on the creek. Nice way to get from one side to the old city gates. Stay seated is what they will tell you to do.

Nice but …

Very nice but you need to know that you need Cash (1AED) for CR1 und CR 2 - These are the most important lines between the rivers
