[8] On November 24, 2023, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum approved the Blue Line Metro Project and the Line will be extended from Creek to Academic City via Festival City, Dubai Creek Harbour, Ras Al Khor, International City and Dubai Silicon Oasis.

[9] The Al Jaddaf Marine Transport Station close to the Creek metro station[8] is run by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), operating ferries on Dubai Creek itself.

[10] This includes an Abra boat service across the Creek to the mall at Dubai Festival City.

This route is part of Dubai's expanding marine transportation network, designed to offer convenient and scenic alternatives for commuting across the city.

By linking key areas like Dubai Creek Harbour with other transportation hubs such as Al Jaddaf and Al Khor Metro Station, the route aims to enhance connectivity, ease congestion on the roads, and provide residents and tourists with more diverse travel options.
