Fishing
Fish commonly caught in the region include king mackerel, tuna, trevally, bonito, kingfish, cobia and dorado. Beach or surf fishing is popular along the coast and, in season, you can even catch barracuda from the shore. The local hammour, however, is being over-fished, and so anglers are advised not to pluck this species from the sea.
The creek front in Creekside Park is a popular spot. On a Friday, you can hire an abra for the morning at the Bur Dubai or Deira landing steps and ask your driver to take you to the mouth of the creek. You could also consider a deep-sea fishing trip with one of the charter companies listed under Tours.
For more competitive anglers, the UAQ Marine Club sponsors a fishing competition twice a year, in April and October. Call 06 766 6644 for more details. A good selection of fishing rods, tackle and equipment is available at Barracuda Dubai. You can even post your catch of the day on their website.
Remember: To throw a fishing line into the water, you'll first need a fishing licence from Dubai.
