It extends into the heart of Dubai, over a length of more than 14 kilometers, reaching the Ras Al-Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, an area inhabited by numerous species of protected seabirds.<\/p>\n<p>Khor Dubai has always been of fundamental importance to the city. Along its shores, the first settlements were built, <a href=\"https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/en\/bur-dubai\/\">Bur Dubai<\/a> and later <a href=\"https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/en\/deira-dubai\/\">Deira<\/a>. The creek has created a natural harbor that has become a hub for trade with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1960s, it was dredged to allow the navigation of larger ships, and in 2007, the artificial extension of the cove was completed. Khor Dubai no longer ends at the Ras Al-Khor wildlife sanctuary, but from there continues out to sea, <strong>making Bur Dubai an island<\/strong>. The new artificial section is called Dubai Water Canal.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-730\" src=\"https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5767518737_26c2f963fc_k.jpg\" alt=\"khor dubai\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5767518737_26c2f963fc_k.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5767518737_26c2f963fc_k-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5767518737_26c2f963fc_k-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5767518737_26c2f963fc_k-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dubaifacile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5767518737_26c2f963fc_k-1536x863.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc118210646\"><\/a><strong>Things to do in Khor Dubai<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The experience of a dinner cruise aboard an ancient dhow is a must on any trip to Dubai!
