Dubai Creek Harbour apartments for sale: Valia and Creek Waters compared
In Dubai Creek Harbour, Orven's selection holds two Emaar projects: Valia, one to four bedrooms from a published AED 1.96 million, and Creek Waters, one to four-bedroom apartments plus townhouses and a five-bedroom duplex penthouse, price on request.
Dubai Creek Harbour apartments for sale in Orven's selection come from two Emaar projects on Creek Island: Valia, with one to four-bedroom apartments starting from a developer-published AED 1.96 million, subject to availability, and Creek Waters, spanning one- to four-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom townhouses and a five-bedroom duplex penthouse, with price on request. Both sit inside the same waterfront district, but only one currently has a public starting figure.
Valia: the published starting price
Valia offers one- to four-bedroom apartments, each with a balcony and a choice of Creek, skyline or park-facing orientation. Emaar's published starting price is AED 1.96 million, developer-advertised, subject to availability, verified on the official page. Neither the delivery date nor the payment plan is published for Valia; both are confirmed by your adviser rather than quoted from third-party sources. The tower sits on a mixed-use podium facing the district's retail and leisure hub, described by Emaar as also facing the area's announced future metro Blue Line, alongside Creek Marina and the Ras Al Khor wildlife sanctuary nearby.
Creek Waters: larger formats, price on request
Creek Waters combines apartments, townhouses and a duplex penthouse on Creek Island, with a contemporary tower set above a landscaped amenities podium overlooking Dubai Creek and the city skyline. Published unit types run from one to four-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom townhouses, and a five-bedroom duplex penthouse for buyers wanting more space in one unit. No starting price, delivery date or payment plan has been published for Creek Waters; your adviser confirms all three once you specify the unit type you want.
| Project | District | Published unit types | Price / payment plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valia | Dubai Creek Harbour (Creek Island) | 1 to 4 bedroom apartments | From AED 1.96 million* |
| Creek Waters | Dubai Creek Harbour (Creek Island) | 1 to 4 bed apartments; 3 bed townhouses; 5 bed duplex penthouse | On request |
\* Developer-advertised starting price, subject to availability.
The Creek Harbour context, as Emaar and Orven describe it
Dubai Creek Harbour is built around Creek Island, with Creek Marina forming part of the waterfront setting and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, known for its flamingos, close by. Emaar also references a Dubai Square Mall as an announced addition to the district. None of these are distances or dates Orven verifies independently; they come from the developer's own published description, and your adviser can point you to the source material if you want the full context before deciding.

Choosing between the two
If your budget needs a firm anchor today, Valia is the one with a published number: AED 1.96 million as a starting price, at 1 USD = 3.6725 AED that is roughly 534,000 USD, for reference only. If you need more space, in particular the three-bedroom townhouse or the five-bedroom duplex penthouse, Creek Waters is the format to ask about, even though its price is not yet public. For the wider district context beyond these two projects, including how Creek Island fits into Dubai's skyline, see the Dubai Creek Harbour district guide, and for how the selection is organised by unit size across the whole city, the apartments for sale in Dubai hub.
Fees, financing and the Golden Visa threshold
A Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4% applies to completed sales, split conventionally between seller and buyer with additional fixed charges confirmed at contract; off-plan units register through Oqood at a fixed fee. Bank financing is possible for some non-resident buyers, subject to the lender's approval. A purchase of AED 2 million or more, such as most Valia configurations, can support a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions you confirm with the relevant authorities.
