A large-scale, still-developing waterfront district with high-rise towers set around a marina, mangroves and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, anchored by the planned Dubai Creek Tower. It has a modern, master-planned feel with extensive parks, promenades and a mix of completed and under-construction sub-districts (Creek Beach, Island District, Harbour Views).
