- Frequently Asked Questions
The tower
The tower stands on Al Kheeran Street, with apartments from one to three bedrooms. Covered parking and high-speed lifts come with it, along with security and maintenance staff on site and a concierge.
The one-bedroom flats have a bathroom and a kitchen, a living and dining area, and a balcony. The two-bedrooms add a second bathroom.
What is inside
The building has a gymnasium and a swimming pool, plus a sauna and a steam room. It also has a lounge, a games room and a play area for children. For a family on a longer stay, the play area and the pool fill a lot of afternoons.
The courtyard and the barbecue area are open for gatherings.
A quiet day at home
The sauna and steam room sit beside the pool, and the games room suits children who tire of the screen.
An apartment with a view of the creek and the Downtown skyline, a promenade outside and abra links to Festival City suits anyone who wants a quiet waterfront base within reach of the city. It is a better fit for rest than for a night out.
Getting here from Dubai International
The drive from Dubai International is 13.2 kilometres, around 16 minutes when the road is clear.
Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Nad Al Hamar Road (D62) are the main roads in. A taxi driver will want the tower name, since the district is large.
Metro, buses and abras
The nearest metro stop is at Dubai Festival City, about fifteen minutes away on foot. The Green Line ends at Creek, after Al Jaddaf and Dubai Healthcare City, and those are the stations residents use today.
The district has no station at its door, so the metro means a walk or a short taxi ride to the platform. Abras make up some of the gap: CR9 runs from Dubai Festival City to Creek Harbour at weekends, and CR11 from Al Jaddaf on weekdays, each at AED 2. Several bus routes with feeder links make a cheap day out possible if you do not mind waiting.
The first errand
The nearest shop is Spinneys, on foot, in Harbour Views Tower 1. Geant Express is in Dubai Creek Residences South Tower 3, and W Mart Supermarket is among the other supermarkets in the district.
Mediclinic is two minutes away on foot, the nearest clinic. Mediclinic Creek Harbour is nearby, with Life Pharmacy and Bin Sina pharmacies in the towers beside it.
Coffee and dinner
Two places to eat sit within 500 metres, Le Flamant Rose and Next Door Kitchen. That is a short list, so a longer dinner often means a short ride.
Shokuh Patisserie and Flaky Pastry Croissant Co. are the nearest coffee and pastry shops. Mondoux and LaLoge Cafe are in the district. Pavlova Cafe is there too, and Batoni serves Georgian food.
A free afternoon
A park is a minute away on foot, and the Dubai Creek Harbour Marina is six minutes. The harbour promenade looks across to Downtown and the Burj Khalifa. Walkways and cycle paths run beside the marina.
The park has picnic areas and a children's play space, and Creek Play is an outdoor play zone along the promenade. The Viewing Point is a free walkway between the twin towers of Address Grand Creek Harbour, with open views of the Downtown skyline.
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and Dubai Festival City are the wider outings. Festival City Mall is a six-minute drive from the tower, so a mall day is easy by taxi.
How the district is laid out
The district divides into Creek Island and Creek Beach, with the mainland behind them. Creek Island holds Address Harbour Point and Vida Residences. Creek Residences and Palace Residences are there too.
The Creek Beach district sits between the mainland and the island, joined to them by three bridges, with waterfront promenades and cycling tracks within walking distance. The mainland splits into sub-districts, among them North Park and Central Park, and a Sanctuary District where flamingos and other wildlife live. Knowing which part you are in tells you how far the promenade is.
The Harbour Promenade is a long waterfront walkway for strolls along the creek's edge, lined with public art. You can walk it end to end in an evening.
Afraa Al Kitbi Mosque, Al Awir Mosque and Osama Bin Zaid Mosque are the nearest mosques.
Outside the district
The district is still building its own shops, and residents use Marhaba Mall and Dubai Festival City Mall for a big shopping trip. That means a short taxi ride, not a walk.
Vida Creek Harbour and Palace Dubai Creek Harbour are hotels in the community, with Address Grand Creek Harbour beside them. Hotel service is close by, so a flat has to earn its place with space and a kitchen, and a quiet bedroom.
Mayweather Boxing and Fitness and the tennis courts are here. So are the jogging tracks and The Spa at Address Creek Harbour. Most residential buildings have pools and gyms.
Families and schools
The streets are traffic-calmed and parks and children's activity spaces ring the towers, which is why young families like the district. Swiss International Scientific School is the nearest school.
Universal American School offers the American curriculum with IB options. Deira International School offers the British curriculum and the IB. Both are in Dubai Festival City. For small children, Blossom Nursery in Creek Gate Tower 2 and Maple Bear Nursery at Harbour Views are close.
The City School International in Nadd Al Hamar and Grammar School Dubai in Al Garhoud are a drive from the tower. The district has no schools of its own yet, so families drive, and a morning run is worth timing before a move.
A family weighing a move may want a few weeks in the district first. A furnished stay is a low-risk way to find out how the mornings feel.
What the district feels like
The early evening can get crowded as people return from work, because the district has only two entrances.
This district is still being finished, and anyone who wants a lively street at the door will be happier elsewhere. Anyone who wants water and a skyline, and some quiet, will be pleased.
A week here
Arrive on a Monday, land at Dubai International and take a taxi to the tower. On Tuesday you walk to the park, and on Wednesday you take an abra from the harbour.
By the weekend the supermarket and the promenade are routine. Thursday evening suits the Viewing Point, and Friday a slow lunch at the marina. You will not need a plan.
What the register shows
The register labels all of these as sales. Read the table as a snapshot of a handful of deals, not as a price list.
