Abras

There are several marine transportation options in Dubai including over 149 abras that can carry up to 20 people per boat. Abras are traditional wooden boats with motors and cost 1 dhs per passenger to cross the Dubai Creek and you pay the driver in cash as there are no tickets issued. You can also hire a full Abra to cruise on the Creek. One hour usually costs about 100 dirhams. A cheaper option is to hire a non-motorized Abra, which uses oars. These cost about 30 dirhams per hour.
