Dubai Water Canal is a 3.2km-long waterway that extends from Dubai Creek in Old Dubai through Business Bay, before finding its way back to the Arabian Gulf.
The manmade channel, which opened in 2016, meanders through the centre of the city, transforming the face of Downtown Dubai and turning it into a waterfront destination. Nearby, you will find the magnificent V Hotel and Hilton Al Habtoor City, as well as the captivating aquatic show La Perle.
Best time to visit Dubai Water Canal
As Dubai Water Canal is a public space, it’s open at all times of the day. The best time to visit, however, is early morning when the sun comes up and the light hits the building and trees along the canal, or around sunset. If you’re going for a walk or a run around the canal, set aside an hour (or more if you plan to stop and take pictures).
you can visit Dubai Water Canal trough Dubai Dhow Cruise which start from Jaddaf water front and sail towards burj khalifa and Canal View.
Timings and Duration may different on Special Events like Eid, Ramadan, National Day, Valentines Day, Christmas day, New Year or any other Holiday.
