Port Saeed (Arabic: ميناء سعيد) is a locality in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Port Saeed is one of the smaller ports in the city of Dubai and is not comparable in size or traffic to either Port Rashid or Jebel Ali Port. Port Saeed provides docking and logistical facilities for boats and small ships in the Dubai Creek.
Port Saeed also has a small residential neighbourhood that is currently being redesigned by Dubai Municipality.[2] As a result, several new buildings and real estate property development projects are being planned for the area.
Port Saeed is bordered in the north and west by Al Rigga and in the east by Al Garhoud. Important landmarks in Port Saeed include Deira City Centre, Dubai Shopping Centre and Welcare Hospital.
