How to Go to Dubai Creek Harbour by Metro
Quick answer: take the Green Line to Creek Station (G30), then a taxi or bus for the last 3–4 km across the water to Dubai Creek Harbour. Total last-mile cost: about AED 10–15 by taxi, 10 minutes. A direct metro station at Creek Harbour arrives with the Blue Line in 2029.
Step-by-Step Route
- Ride to Creek Station (Green Line). From the Red Line, change at Union or BurJuman and take the Green Line towards Creek — it's the terminus, so you can't miss it. Fare from most of central Dubai: AED 3–5 (calculate yours).
- Exit towards Al Jaddaf Waterfront. Follow signs for the taxi rank.
- Taxi or bus across Ras Al Khor. A taxi to Creek Harbour's Central Park, Harbour Promenade or Dubai Creek Tower site takes ~10 minutes (AED 10–15). RTA feeder/local buses also link the Al Jaddaf area with Creek Harbour — check the S'hail app for the current route, as feeder numbering changes.
Alternative: Dubai Healthcare City / Al Jadaf Stations
Dubai Healthcare City and Al Jadaf stations are one and two stops earlier and can be marginally quicker for taxis at busy times. There is no walking route — the creek and highway are in between, so don't attempt it on foot.
Coming in 2029: A Direct Station
The Blue Line will run from Creek Station across a 1,300 m bridge over the creek directly into Dubai Creek Harbour, where the landmark 74 m Emaar Properties station — the world's tallest metro station — is under construction. Until then, metro + taxi remains the best combination.
What to Do at Creek Harbour
Stroll the Harbour Promenade for the best skyline-across-the-water views of Downtown, visit Central Park, dine at the waterfront restaurants, and see the flamingos at the neighbouring Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary (separate entrance, taxi required).
Dubai Creek Harbour by Bus
Prefer the bus for the last leg? RTA routes link the Creek Harbour district with the Green Line side of the city — check the S’hail app for the current route from Creek station or the Al Jaddaf side, since numbers get adjusted as the district grows. The bus costs a few dirhams on the same Nol card versus AED 10–15 for the taxi hop — taxi stays fastest door to door, bus stays cheapest. From 2029, the Blue Line station makes both obsolete.
