About Harbour Gate Tower 2
Harbour Gate Tower 2 is a residential tower in Emaar's Harbour Gate complex on Creek Island, Dubai Creek Harbour, completed in August 2022. The tower holds 268 units, a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments (76 one-bedroom, 124 two-bedroom and 68 three-bedroom units), figures independently confirmed by both homes4life.ae's and PropSearch's building pages.
Harbour Gate is a twin-tower development, Tower 1 and Tower 2, together totalling 536 residential units across both towers per PropSearch's combined-complex figures. Tower 2 itself stands 35 to 36 storeys depending on the source; Tower 1's own storey count has not been independently confirmed in this pass, so no specific figure is stated for it here.
Harbour Gate is a separate Emaar development from Harbour Views, another twin-tower complex elsewhere in Dubai Creek Harbour that Royale Stays has also covered: see the guide to Short Term Rentals in Harbour Views Tower 2. The two share a similar naming convention and the same wider community, but they are not the same buildings.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Harbour Gate Tower 2 sits on Creek Island within Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar's master-planned waterfront community built around views of the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the Dubai Creek Tower site. For the wider district picture, see Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb management across Dubai Creek Harbour.
Owners comparing buildings in the area may also find it useful to look at two other Dubai Creek Harbour towers Royale Stays has covered: Creek Edge Tower 1 and Harbour Views Tower 2, a separate Emaar twin-tower complex elsewhere in the same community. A third Creek Harbour tower, Creek Horizon Tower 1, is covered in a separate building guide to Creek Horizon Tower 1.
Unit Types
Harbour Gate Tower 2 offers 268 units in total: 76 one-bedroom apartments, 124 two-bedroom apartments and 68 three-bedroom apartments, per homes4life.ae's building page. Across the wider Harbour Gate complex, PropSearch's combined-tower figures put the total at 536 residential units spanning both towers.

Amenities
Tower-specific amenities for Harbour Gate Tower 2 have not been independently confirmed in this pass, so none are stated here as building-specific fact.
At the community level, Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour master development includes waterfront promenades and retail and dining space, along with views toward the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the Dubai Creek Tower site, though these are area-wide features rather than confirmed facilities of this specific tower.
Transportation & Access
Dubai Creek Harbour does not have a confirmed Metro or Tram station within walking distance of Harbour Gate Tower 2. Road access via Ras Al Khor Road and the Bur Dubai Bypass Road is the primary route into and out of the community, and Dubai International Airport is roughly a 15 to 20-minute drive away.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed rents specific to Harbour Gate Tower 2 in this pass, so the figures below describe Dubai Creek Harbour at an area level rather than this particular tower. Royale Stays' own published data for the area shows one-bedroom units at roughly AED 7,500 to 11,000 per month, two-bedroom units at roughly AED 11,000 to 16,000 per month, and three-bedroom units at roughly AED 18,000 to 24,000 per month gross, with annual gross yields in the 8 to 11 percent range.
Service charges for Harbour Gate Tower 2 have not been confirmed via the Dubai Land Department's Mollak index in this pass, so no figure is stated here as fact. Owners weighing a specific unit's earning potential can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Harbour Gate Tower 2, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Harbour Gate Tower 2 would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Search interest around Harbour Gate Tower 2 shows a genuine short-term-rental signal in the surrounding search landscape, though Royale Stays has not independently re-verified a named operator running listings at this specific building in this pass, so no competitor or occupancy figure is stated here as fact.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Harbour Gate Tower 2, the practical starting points are the same as anywhere else in Dubai Creek Harbour: confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit competitively against comparable Creek Harbour listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, and our guide to what separates a strong Airbnb management company from a weak one sets out what to look for when comparing operators. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
