Dubai Creek OR Khor Dubai

I have told prior about dubai information on topic dubai holidays and now I tell you the information of Dubai Creek or Khor Dubai is a saltwater creek located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Saltwater means seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. (salinity It is a general term used to describe the levels of different salts such as sodium chloride, magnesium and calcium sulfates, and bicarbonates ) that Some sources say that the creek extended as far inland as Al Ain, Al Ain also known as the Garden City due to its greenery, is the second largest city in the Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi is the capital of, and the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Persian Gulf from the central western coast) Emirate and the fourth largest city in the United Arab Emirates and that the Ancient Greeks called it River Zara. Historically, the creek divided the city into two main sections – Deira and Bur Dubai.

Deira is an area in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates bordered by the Persian Gulf (The Persian Gulf, in the Southwest Asian region, is an extension of the Indian Ocean located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.), Sharjah (Sharjah is one of the emirates of the United Arab Emirates- UAE.) and Dubai Creek. Historically, it has been the center of Dubai, but has been losing its importance during the past few decades due to recent development along E 11 road ( This road is a highway in the United Arab Emirates. The longest road in the UAE, E 11 streches from the city of Abu Dhabi and ends in Ras Al Khaimah ) and areas further down the coast toward Abu Dhabi. Port Saeed is a small port along Deira's shore of Dubai Creek. Port Saeed holds some of the dhows and small shipping boats in Dubai and least but not last Bur Dubai located on the western side of the Dubai Creek. It is home to several popular places for tourists. The name literally translates to Mainland Dubai.
