Dubai has announced the initiation of a Dh80 million project known as the Dubai Creek Lights, aimed at celebrating the rich cultural heritage and history of the historic downtown area. The ambitious 8km project will transform the bustling district into a captivating night-time destination, with 5,000 lighting units installed to illuminate key landmarks along Dubai Creek.
Spanning from the Creek Quay to Al Seef Marina, the lighting will be strategically placed to enhance the visual appeal of the waterfronts and public spaces after sunset. This initiative, spearheaded by Dubai Municipality under the guidance of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, is set to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.
The project not only aims to showcase the area's landmarks but also seeks to minimize the environmental impact on marine life through the use of sustainable lighting. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, director general of Dubai Municipality, emphasized the project's significance in preserving Dubai's trading legacy and creating a unique night-time experience for both residents and visitors.
Bader Anwahi, CEO of the Public Facilities Agency at the municipality, highlighted the project's potential to enhance the visitor experience while supporting commercial and tourism activity along the waterfront.
