Like the Star Ferry in HK and the Staten Island Ferry in NY, it's one of the world's great water rides, and certainly the cheapest. Don't wear heels, and don't fall for the touts trying to flog you an expensive private ride.

Very interesting to see dhow's being loaded and unloaded. Cheap exciting water taxi ride not to be missed.

Nice place to visit in the evening, with several souq's nearby for wandering around after a nice meal. Short trip over the creek is well worth the 1 AED fee, and is recommended for everyone. Interersting to see all of the wooden ships in the dock as well.

Dubai has clear skies, clear blue waters, clean surroundings, welcoming people, and grandiose sites. The Dubai ferry really fun.

A world away from the sky scrapers of new Dubai. Enjoy a 1 dirham ride on the abras to the Souk to enjoy the smells and sights of the spice markets.

If u want to have a feel of real Dubai which is away from cosmopolitan attractions , u must visit abra dock which is located in bur Dubai . For 1 dhs u can have a ride in a dhow across the creek .
