Great place with some really beautiful views of Dubai from the water. Be sure to take the abra to go across the creek. Lots of souks around the creek area, including the gold souk and the spice souk so be sure to explore these. More

Great park there with bicycles you can hire. The park also contains Children's City which is a bit like an educational museum. My children liked it although it did need updating. We love eating at the Boardwalk Restaurant which is part of the Dubai Creek Club where the Park Hyatt is. More
