Dubai Creek is a semi-enclosed waterway approximately 14 km long located in the Emirate of Dubai. In November 2016, the extension of existing Dubai Creek through Business Bay Canal and Dubai Water Canal was completed forming an uninterrupted navigable waterway of length 24 km approximately. The performance of the extended Dubai creek system with its new entrance to Arabian Gulf at Jumeirah coast in improving the flushing of Dubai Creek using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model (MIKE 3FM) calibrated with measured data is presented in this paper.
