  • A warm welcome and a dazzling departure

    Step aboard a luxurious glass-enclosed dhow at Dubai Festival City, where a traditional Arabic welcome awaits. Fragrant kahwah, sweet dates, and chilled refreshments. Settle into your seat as the city’s skyline glows around you. Just as the cruise begins, witness the spectacular IMAGINE Show unfold on the water. With fountains dancing, lasers beaming, and fire lighting up the night, it’s a breathtaking start to your journey down the Dubai Canal.

    A night of flavors and melodies

    Listen to the taped commentary as you pass Dubai’s modern marvels, from the Burj Khalifa (you really can't miss this, can you?) to the sail-shaped Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, the wildlife haven of Ras Al Khor, and the stunning Sheikh Zayed Bridge Waterfall cascading over the canal. Enjoy a spread of Arabic grills, fresh seafood, and global flavors, with unlimited soft drinks, or upgrade for free-flowing house beverages. As the city drifts by, a live saxophonist sets the mood, making this a truly unforgettable memory.
