Where the station will be
The station will serve Dubai Creek Harbour, the waterfront district beside Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. It is part of Route 1 (Creek to Dubai Academic City), between Dubai Festival City and Ras Al Khor Industrial Area. The order of the International City and Silicon Oasis stops is indicative until RTA publishes the final station list.
The Media Office station list also mentions an "Emaar Properties" station of 74 m height and 11,000 square metres. It is not yet confirmed whether that is the Dubai Creek Harbour stop itself or a separate station, so we list it separately until RTA publishes the final names.
