The Community

A city drawn along the water

Dubai Creek Harbour is Emaar's 6-million-square-metre waterfront master plan on the banks of the historic Dubai Creek — the trading artery the city grew from.

Set between Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport, the community stretches along kilometres of boardwalk facing the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, where thousands of flamingos winter on protected wetlands. Across the water, the Burj Khalifa skyline frames every sunset.

Twice the size of Downtown Dubai, the master plan weaves residential islands, a 700-metre white-sand beach, an 81-berth superyacht marina, parks, schools, mosques and five-star Address and Vida hotels into one connected waterfront city — anchored by the future Dubai Creek Tower.

For buyers and investors, Dubai Creek Harbour combines Emaar’s delivery track record with freehold ownership, construction-linked payment plans and some of the strongest rental demand in the city. New phases release regularly, and early registrants get first access to launch pricing.

The Master Plan

Six districts, one shoreline

Each neighbourhood of Dubai Creek Harbour has its own rhythm — island towers, beachfront family homes, park-side apartments — stitched together by the creek boardwalk.

  • Sunset over the Creek Island promenade with Burj Khalifa across the water at Dubai Creek Harbour

    Creek Island

    The beating heart of the harbour

    Home to Creek Marina, the Address hotels and the future Dubai Creek Tower, Creek Island is the flagship district — waterfront towers, a yacht-lined promenade and Central Park at its core.

  • Infinity pool and palm trees beside the Dubai Creek Harbour sign at Creek Beach

    Creek Beach

    700 metres of white-sand shoreline

    A family favourite: a sheltered white-sand beach on the creek, infinity pools, splash pads and low-rise residences steps from the water — urban beach living minutes from Downtown Dubai.

  • Families at an illuminated evening plaza in Dubai Creek Harbour

    Green Gate

    The green gateway to the community

    A district woven around landscaped parks and shaded walkways, connecting the community to the city with retail-lined boulevards and contemporary apartment living.

  • Quiet mooring jetty and yacht facing the misty Dubai skyline at The Cove, Dubai Creek Harbour

    The Cove

    Serene creek-front living

    Quiet, elegant waterfront residences facing the Ras Al Khor sanctuary — sunset views over the water, boardwalk cafés and a slower rhythm within the mega-community.

  • Yacht masts silhouetted at Creek Marina during a dramatic sunset at Dubai Creek Harbour

    Creek Marina

    An 81-berth superyacht marina

    The social centrepiece of the harbour: a world-class marina with berths for superyachts, waterfront dining, boutique retail and year-round events on the promenade.

  • Palm-lined pool deck at dawn within the landscaped grounds of Dubai Creek Harbour

    Central Park

    Acres of green in the sky-lined city

    A vast landscaped park threading through the island district — jogging loops, play areas and event lawns framed by the Dubai skyline across the water.

Payment Plans

Construction-linked, investor-friendly

Every Emaar launch at Dubai Creek Harbour is construction-linked — you pay in instalments while the tower is built, with no payment surprises. Two structures are in play across the current launches: 80/20 and 90/10.

  1. On Booking

    10%

    Reserve your unit with the down payment and sales agreement.

  2. During Construction

    70%

    Instalments linked to construction milestones — spread over the build period.

  3. On Handover

    20%

    Final payment when you receive the keys to your home.

Shown here is the 80/20 shape, used by Valia, Montiva by Vida and Altan. Oria, Aeon and Creek Waters run on 90/10 plans instead, which brings more of the price forward into the construction period. Compare all six payment plans.

Freehold ownership, 0% commission from us

Buyers of any nationality own outright with a Dubai Land Department title deed. Qualifying purchases can support a UAE Golden Visa application. Exact plans vary per launch — ask for the current release terms.

Questions & Answers

Dubai Creek Harbour, explained

Where is Dubai Creek Harbour located?

Dubai Creek Harbour sits on the banks of the historic Dubai Creek in Ras Al Khor, roughly 10 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa, and about 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB). It faces the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, home to thousands of flamingos.

Who is the developer of Dubai Creek Harbour?

Dubai Creek Harbour is a master-planned community developed by Emaar Properties, the developer behind Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. Individual residential towers within the community are launched and delivered by Emaar in phases.

How big is Dubai Creek Harbour?

The master plan covers approximately 6 million square metres — about twice the size of Downtown Dubai. It includes residential districts, an 81-berth marina, a 700-metre beach, retail promenades, parks, schools, mosques and hotels, all connected by a waterfront boardwalk.

What districts make up Dubai Creek Harbour?

Key districts include Creek Island (the flagship island with Creek Marina and Central Park), Creek Beach (700 metres of white-sand shoreline), Green Gate, The Cove and the marina promenade. Each district has its own character, from beachfront family living to high-rise marina residences.

What new projects are launching at Dubai Creek Harbour?

Valia is Emaar's newest launch at Dubai Creek Harbour — a 56-storey tower with 1–4 bedroom residences from around AED 2.14 million, handing over in 2030. Other current and recent launches include Montiva by Vida, Altan, Oria, Aeon and Creek Waters, offering apartments, townhouses and penthouses, typically with 80/20 payment plans and handovers between 2027 and 2030. New phases launch regularly — register your interest to be notified first.

How much do apartments at Dubai Creek Harbour cost?

Prices depend on the tower, floor and view. Across current Emaar releases, 1 bedroom apartments at Dubai Creek Harbour typically start from around AED 2 million, 2 bedrooms from around AED 3 million, and 3 bedrooms from around AED 4.5 million, with penthouses and 4 bedroom homes considerably higher. Ask us for the live price list for a specific project — launch pricing changes with each release.

What payment plans are available at Dubai Creek Harbour?

Emaar typically offers 80/20 or similar construction-linked payment plans on off-plan launches at Dubai Creek Harbour: around 10% on booking, instalments during construction, and the balance on handover. Exact terms vary per project and release.

What rental yields can investors expect at Dubai Creek Harbour?

Gross rental yields at Dubai Creek Harbour are commonly reported in the region of 5–7% for apartments, supported by the waterfront location, Emaar's brand and strong tenant demand close to Downtown Dubai. Actual returns depend on the tower, unit type, furnishing and how the property is managed, so treat published yields as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Is Dubai Creek Harbour a good investment?

Dubai Creek Harbour is one of Dubai's most in-demand waterfront communities, combining Emaar's delivery track record, a prime location near Downtown Dubai and DXB, and strong rental demand. Off-plan prices in the community have appreciated significantly since the first phases. As with any property investment, buyers should assess their own goals and seek independent advice.

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai Creek Harbour?

Yes. Dubai Creek Harbour is a designated freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own property outright with a title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department. There is no requirement to be a UAE resident to buy.

Does buying at Dubai Creek Harbour qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?

Property purchases at or above AED 2 million can support an application for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa, and most Dubai Creek Harbour apartments fall at or above that threshold. Eligibility is assessed by the UAE authorities and depends on your individual circumstances and the payment stage of an off-plan purchase — we can walk you through the current requirements.

What are the service charges at Dubai Creek Harbour?

Service charges are set annually per building and cover maintenance of shared areas, pools, landscaping and the waterfront boardwalk. They vary by tower and unit type rather than applying community-wide. Ask us for the current published service charge for the specific project you are considering.

What is the Dubai Creek Tower?

Dubai Creek Tower is the planned landmark observation tower at the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour, designed by Santiago Calatrava. Emaar has announced a redesigned tower to anchor the community's skyline; construction milestones are announced by the developer.
