That is something you must experience when you been at Dubai. It is the cultural collaboration of an Old dubai and the so called super developed new Dubai. You must try this boat service. It costs less than a black tea! You will be getting a life time experience! You must visit the old culture and antique street shops at the banks.

Very nice boating experience. Also just for 2Dhs!!! Its soo amazing. Its a crossing from Burdubai to gold souq and many other places. Many people use it as a transportation facility for crossing the water flow. And many people reach here to enjoy the Boating service. Many boats are available here for each 10mins. Many birds are spoted here. Highly recommended.

I’m in love with this place. It’s so peaceful and relaxing specially in evening, when so are tired of daily chaos, come here to relax and live these peaceful moments with delightful views.Also there is local government (RTA controlled) boat service that can give you a ride to Bur Dubai Boat Station for just one dirham. Amazing views. Must give a visit in the evening before sunset. ❤️

It is one of the best things to go for in Dubai given its cheap ride which is just Dhs 1 per peson or Dhs 15 for private boating experiance. It offers amazing views of the old Dubi souks. The large amount of pigeons on shore provides a cherry on top.

Do visit with your family onces.

The old style wooden abras offer a great experience- one can cross Dubai Creek wheres the citys history began, for Only 1 dirham.The crossing offers great views of this older part of the city including masjids and much lower rise building than the more modern part of the city.

Wow...it’s just 1 AED per person to cross the Creek. I was a bit worried about the condition of the boats, later someone told me that Government has kept it in that condition but it maintained daily

Review №18

Have you ever heard of AED 1 ride anywhere in UAE? I have and ABRA is one for you. If you wana real deal of Dubai , take a round in the creek area of Dubai. You will go through the history of old Dubai and will find some good souks. The drivers are really good to talk to

Review №21

This is a traditional place and face of Dubai.They tried to keep it as in same feelings.So dont expect a luxurious feel there.The beauty of the place is in the present atmosphere and look. and i loved the ambience as i feel very nostalgic and traditional.Abras may be the world cheapest water transportation which charges just 1AED.There are other dhow cruises around which you can enjoy some fun and food along with a water trip of 30minutes in common.Hope the government may keep and protect the traditional look and ambience forever as the soul of the abra is like so.A good tourist destination as well..

Review №22

As a local guide I can only describe this place as a really touristic crowded small corner in Dubai where about 10 different things are happening at the same time. Its a taxiboat station to get you to the other side of the creek, its also a place where you can find a refreshing kiosk and the sidewalk that gets you to the souk. Add to this the tourist and locals trying to use the same public transportation for 1 dhs!I think the place is fantastic, is a great experience to visit it. Youll feel secure there , a little bit stalked but only for sellers trying to get you a good original watch offer...Have fun!

Lovely place and a good tourist place.. regulators should pay attention to carbon emission from these desal engine boats ... a beautiful bridge or submarine tunnel can be made to cross this canal and alot of CO2 emission will be avoided

An abra is a traditional boat made of wood. Abras are used to ferry people across the Dubai Creek in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Motorised abras currently ply two main routes across the Dubai Creek. There are four stations; two on the Deira side, to the north of the Creek and two on the southern Bur Dubai side.date: 2017.01.06

So easy and convenient,Abra comes from the Arabic verb “abara” which means to cross. Take a ride on the Dubai Abra, the city’s most traditional mode of transport. For centuries, it has remained one of Dubai’s most frequented modes of transport, making it the symbol of the city ’s history and heritage.

Abra ride across the creek is the best way to experience old dubai. The abra are managed by dubai RTA. The fare is 1 dirham. The motorized wooden boat can fit around 18 people per trip. There are 4 stations altogether. 2 on deira side and 2 on bur dubai side. There are more than 100 abra working 24 hours daily. The boats are also available for private charter. No booking are required. Just go to the jetty and talk to the abra driver.

Review №55

The boats across leave every few minutes from the gold, herb and textile souqs and only cost 1aed per person. Great way to get across to the Mosque, see the al Fihidi district or visit other similar souqs on that side of river. Crossing only takes 15mins. The fumes, unpacking of shipments and construction make the area a little chaotic and not super pretty but good to see none the less.

The cheapest mode of transport on Dubai, it just costs 1 Dhiram to go from one side to other. The Service is pretty frequent and the water is very clean. You will surely enjoy the view of the city from here. You can also see fishing boats, yacht and hotel on boats. Get down at Old Souk and indulge in some shopping. A must try when in Dubai.It was an amazing experience. The boat runs every few minutes throughout the entire day. Each boat holds about 20 passengers. the journey only takes about 5 minutes. even you can hire your own abra for an hour to explore much further up the river. Riders usually sit on a central wooden bench for the short journey across.

The best, cheapest and enjoyable transportation available in Dubai...With transportation u get a ride in a ABRA...An abra is a traditional boat made of wood. Abras are used to ferry people across the Dubai Creek in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The abras depart every few minutes.The fare is only AED. 1/- if u go in shuttle with other 19 people...Its a pleasing ride...

Abra!!! We sometime just go by abra from Bur Dubai to Gold souk which just cost AED 1/- ( USD 0.27) which is the cheapest mean of transportation in Dubai. Its one of my favourite as we simply sail to enjoy our ride. Return trip is available from the same place. Whereas if you are going to Gold Souk by metro or taxi will cost you AED 5/- and AED 20/- respt. And this is the fastest aswell and they have boats every less than 5 min.

Amazing place to walk and relax with abra rides across the creek for just AED 2! Visitors to Dubai will love this place for history and culture. An amazing atmosphere that’s so different to the glitz and glamour where you’ll find simple cafes including fresh coconut 🥥 juice! Just love this place and as a local resident I’ll always make a point of visiting this wonderful old and original creek side area of Dubai!

The boats are fast to ferry people from point A to be. They dont wait much to fill up the people. Normally, people are always on the move, so its quicker to be ferried. It is my quickest route when I need to cross Dubai Creek to go either side for business, yet cheap, only AED1 to board the boat. For exchange rate check the internet but US$1=AED3.67,so do the math for the AED.Enjoy the boats guys!!!
