About this audio guide
This guide to the Dubai Water Canal follows the project that carved a new link between the Arabian Gulf and Dubai Creek starting in 2014, cutting straight through Sheikh Zayed Road and Safa Park to do it. You'll hear about the engineering feat behind moving traffic and earth without stopping the city, and how it completed a dream Sheikh Rashid held decades before his son Sheikh Mohammed opened it in 2016. Look upstream for the S-shaped suspension bridge as you walk the twelve-kilometre promenade.
