Quiet by day, very loud by night. That’s supposed to be Dubai Creek Harbour.
The place itself is very simple but very elegant. I went in the morning and so it was very quiet.
Here’s what it looks like:
I went in 2023 and the Viewing Point had not yet opened. It is open now, and judging by the reviews, the views are fantastic.
Here’s what it looks like:
There are restaurants in the Harbour but I advise against going there because people walk their dogs in this area. I saw dogs near the restaurant chairs as well! I was really shocked given that, in Islam, the saliva of dogs is impure and vessels need to be cleaned with water and sand if a dog licks them.
Apart from that, the Harbour was nice. It was good for a one time visit, not more that that.
