Wooden abras have shuttled between Bur Dubai and Deira for generations and still carry commuters across the creek all day and half the night.
Board at Bur Dubai Old Souk or Deira Old Souk station, take a seat on the central wooden bench and cross in about five minutes.
Local tip: Fares are a couple of dirhams, paid in cash to the driver once seated; boats leave when full rather than to a timetable.
