Discover a world-class master-planned community by Emaar, combining serene waterfront living with modern urban energy, premium residences, and panoramic skyline views across Dubai Creek.

History

History of Dubai Creek Harbour

From Dubai’s historic trading creek to a visionary waterfront city, Dubai Creek Harbour represents one of Emaar’s most ambitious masterplans. Inspired by the original heart of Dubai—Dubai Creek—the project was first announced in 2006 as “The Lagoons” and later re-envisioned into today’s world-class mixed-use destination.
Following Emaar’s full acquisition of the land in 2022, the masterplan accelerated with new residential clusters, Creek Beach, Creek Marina, luxury hotels, and cultural districts. Today, Dubai Creek Harbour showcases the future of sustainable, modern waterfront living—seamlessly blending nature, wildlife, and urban design into one of Dubai’s most iconic communities.
