Yesterday was a big day for the Dubai Canal project.

Water was released into it for the first time since they started construction around three years ago.

It was a moment of pride for all those associated with the AED 2 billion project, an extension of Dubai Creek, and Khalaf Al Habtoor, founder of Al Habtoor City, congratulated everyone with a message alongside a video of the canal being filled.

Khalaf Al Habtoor’s words:

“Congratulations to us all and to Dubai on the completion of this great landmark, the Dubai Water Canal… I congratulate the Roads & Transports Authority and everyone who supported them. First and foremost, the congratulation should be addressed to HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on his great vision. May God bless the UAE.”
