Another great is in the pipeline. A 1.5 billion dirhams project to extend the Business Bay canal is in the works. The extension will be 12.8 kilometres from the section of Sheikh Zayed Road near Safa Park to the Arabian Gulf. To be named Dubai Canal, this project is seen to be completed in 2 years.
This will definitely add another bright spot on the tourists maps. Below are some artist’s impressions made available by Government of Dubai to the media:
