Abra is a favorite of both regulars and tourists as it is the cheapest mode of travel to Catate for sightseeing.
Abra services are operated by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority. The fare for this journey is only one dirham. Thousands of people use this service every day. There are mainly four Abra stations on both sides of Dubai Creek. The RTA claims that the Abras carry around one lakh passengers, with around five thousand trips per day. Abras also offer private rides by booking at a rate of Dhs 100 per hour. Apart from the traditional abras, there is also a water bus service.
