Come and see where Dubai's heart truly beats. The Creek is where our story began, and you can feel it as you watch the old wooden abras (water taxis) crisscross the water, with the modern skyline peeking out from behind the traditional buildings. For just a single coin, you can hop on an abra yourself for a short ride between the bustling spice and gold souks on one side and the textile souk on the other. I always recommend visiting in the late afternoon; the light is magical as the sun begins to set, and the call to prayer echoes across the water, creating a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
