1 dirham to cross to the other side, very nice place to visit

A peaceful and beautiful experience on the Abra ride to Bur Dubai! Riding the traditional wooden Abra across the creek was a highlight of our day. The views were amazing, and the breeze felt refreshing, especially after walking around. It’s a short ride, but very peaceful and gives a lovely glimpse into old Dubai. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone who wants a calm moment away from the city rush — and it only costs 1 AED

The Abra boat ride in Dubai was a fun and relaxing experience. It gave beautiful views of the city and was a nice way to enjoy the water.
