Small good up from your end saying by telephone that we will co.e to pickup at certain time from the hotel that day.
After I told him we r on our own & we have not booked for pickup & he apologized.

Thanks.

The staff was amazing and very friendly.. the food on the other side was not so great. There were a few things missing from the menu on Headout.
I would advise the Dhow Cruise passengers to take some snacks in case you are not able to eat the food they have.

It was a great experience with delicious Dinner served and Tanoora show. Cruise was sailed for full time of 2 hours in the marine area of Dubai with perfect skyline of skyscrapers. Thiugh inad some doubt about sailing time, dinner quality etc. but i found quality of both better more than my expectations. Everyone should must do this. Thanks Headout for the deal and thanks Ocean Express for the Saili.

We decided to end our tour in Dubai with this cruise and we were surprised to see how much we'd have missed out on! Lovely sights and sounds.
Carla

We loved the experience and the crew was amazing. Thank you so much to Mr. Bhoja and Mr. Kartik for being so kind and giving such an amazing experience to us and to our sons. About Headout everything went very good, the only thing that can be improved is the location details that was not pointing to the correct place. The right location is the station from Amazon Tours near the Imagine Show.
Aswathy
It was a memorable experience.we had a wonderful view of downtown and surrounding areas.I found this ride much more worthy than the dhow cruise packages we we had gone earlier. The staffs were too gentle..they clicked pics for us,they made sure that we aren't missing any important view throughout the ride. Thanks headout 😍

Ticketing through Headout was very good experience in Dubai.We have visited Dubai for 4 days and we booked this combo plan. Burj Khalifa, Dhow Cruise and Dessert Safari was very good experience. All the staff were very good and cooperative especially Dessert Safari Guide Anjum and City tour operator Rizwan and Waqas but the program of the city tour we did not liked. Overall experience was very good.
Basiimwa
I liked the whole experience....I found it even better than described...drivers for pick ups kept time. The headout Combo was the most effecient way of touring Dubai inna few days
Richard

Fantastic service, we were nearly an hour late on a Saturday night and they still gave us the full 2 hours
They even went out and got some drinks for us beforehand
Impeccable service and lovely blokes who were very considerate of the small children we had on board.
Dubai Dhow Cruises Guide
Dubai Dhow Cruises Guide
Dubai is a land of wonders; record-breaking skyscrapers, pristine beaches, massive malls, and luxury cars define the city of dreams now.

Many cultural manifestations from the time can still be found today, playing an important part in the day to day life of Dubai. And none are more important than the Dhow - traditional wooden boats that were masterfully designed and built by the local fishing communities and used for navigating the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. A popular attraction in Dubai today, Dubai Dhow Cruise tickets come in all variations to suit your preference.
Cruising the waters of Dubai Creek and the modern Dubai Marina, Dhow cruises are renowned for their one-of-a-kind sightseeing and dining experiences. Sailing by prominent landmarks as you engage your tastebuds and enjoy a wonderful dinner is an experience that you will truly remember.

Choosing the Best Dubai Dhow Cruise - Creek vs Marina Cruises
Choosing the Best Dubai Dhow Cruise - Creek vs Marina Cruises
Dubai Creek Cruise
Dubai Marina Cruise
Sights Covered: Although cruising the Dubai Creek and visiting the older part of town has its own charm, the sights can be limited. While the Deira side of the creek has a few landmark buildings such as the Sheraton or the Dubai Municipality building, the Bur Dubai side of the creek is dominated by a promenade before opening up to the old Bastakiya Quarter, traditional souks and the Heritage Village further up the creek
Ambience: A cruise through the Dubai Marina is pretty much the image you've come to expect of Dubai. Dubai Creek, being the older of the two, offer more of a walk through Dubai's history. Though there are prominent buildings on the banks of the Creek, these are neither new or old and some visitors may find them underwhelming.
Experience: Being fairly modern, the quality of the overall cruise - vessel standard, sightseeing, dinner and entertainment - in Dubai Marina is observably better than a cruise in Dubai Creek. Though the Creek has many high quality Dhow operators, the sheer large number of operators in the region ensures that a fair number of cruises are mediocre in standard.
Sights Covered: Dubai Marina is a fairly modern construction and the skyscrapers surrounding it feature an array of post modern architectural elements within them. The Marina is also flanked by a promenade on both banks with people going on walks or sitting down in outdoor cafes and restaurants to have a lovely evening. Passing under bridges as they carry cars and trams across the Marina is also a unique experience.
Ambience: In the Dubai Marina, you will be surrounded by buildings defined by the most modern skyscraper architecture principles. The environment in and around the Dubai Marina is also relaxed and leisurely compared to the Dubai Creek. The latter has a routine feel, with a heavy commercial traffic.
Experience: The more premium of the two, the competition for operators in Dubai Marina is strict and compelling, ensuring a higher quality in the process compared to Dubai Creek. While the boats used are more or less the same, the experience varies greatly as Dubai Marina boats bost better facilities and maintenance.
What is the Best Time to go on a Dubai Dhow Cruise?
What is the Best Time to go on a Dubai Dhow Cruise?
Dhow cruises sail throughout the day, and offer either sightseeing or luxury dining opportunities. Depending upon what you would like to experience, you can opt for day-time cruises which are geared for sightseeing or go for cruises later in the evening that are popular for dinner and onboard entertainment.
To be on a cruise during sunset or after the city is blanketed under a moonlit night sky can be a magical experience. Dubai Dhow Cruises gliding along the beautiful setting of Dubai Creek or the Marina offer a different experience at different times of the day. If you are looking to see the intricacy of the architectural marvels, an early morning or an afternoon cruise may be a good idea for you. But avoid being on an open deck during the sunny hours of the day.
