To cross the River Creek, there are water taxis that are called abras. On both sides of the river there are bustling souks, mosques, shopping malls, 
banks, hospitals, schools, and various villas and apartment blocks. The River Creek flows into the Arabian Gulf where the beaches are white and palm-fringed. A new sports city is in the works and there are world-class golf facilities.

Step into the cool interior and take a peek at Dubai’s rich heritage and culture including a step into life lived in the desert. The museum has a wealth of historical artefacts including a collection of weaponry that includes spears, bows and arrows, swords, shields, axes and pistols.
5. Grand Mosque - Dubai’s Grand Mosque is hard to miss because it boasts the city’s highest minaret at seventy metres. The stunning building also has forty-five small domes to complement nine large domes that are resplendent with stained glass.
Burj Al Arab - Another modern icon is Burj Al Arab. It is a stunningly luxurious hotel that is officially five stars but is renowned the world over as the first seven-star hotel.
