Overview

Dubai Creek Harbour is Emaar's biggest bet since Downtown, a mixed-use waterfront city being built around the historic Dubai Creek Towers site. Early residents get competitive pricing and strong capital appreciation potential, but the area is still maturing with limited amenities today. For those with a 5-year horizon, it could be the best value in Dubai right now.
