Live The Creek. Love The Creek

Free activity

Address: Dubai Creek

Al Seef by Meraas is a charming 1.8-kilometre waterfront promenade located near the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood on the south bank of Dubai Creek. Explore homegrown and international cafes, restaurants and shops in a cosmopolitan space that reflects the best of Dubai's heritage and culture.


Al Seef's striking architecture is inspired by Dubai's transformation over the last half-century, with the area's winding pedestrian streets and alleyways taking you on a journey through time. Set against the backdrop of traditional 'dhows' (traditional wooden boats) sailing up and down Dubai's ancient waterway, Al Seef is also home to a bustling events plaza housed in an area where fishermen, pearl-divers, weavers and tradesmen once came to trade.


Al Seef also houses a picturesque marina, traditional souk (market), floating market, floating restaurants, art galleries and shops selling authentic Emirati crafts. If you'd like to explore Al Seef for longer than a day, book into one of its three hotels, Zabeel House Al Seef, Zabeel House Mini Al Seef, or Al Seef Hotel.
