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.Dhanya

I booked 1 hr ride with 53 Aed per head for 5 people. It was informed to me that it is a water canal ride and refreshments will be provided. But the ride was only till BurjKhalifa ( excluding water canal ) and no refreshments were provided other than water. So I didn't get anything that was promised in the website while bookingAuras

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 π
Traditional Abra ride on the Dubai water canal
Step aboard the abra, a traditional wooden (often used as a water taxi) combines elements of a raft and a deck boat. This intimate boat, reflecting the simplicity of old times, holds only about 20 people.
This 1-hour cruise glides along the Dubai Canal, a waterway that cuts through the heart of Dubai. It's like a dividing line, separating the old and new parts of the city. On one side, you've got Deira and Bur Dubai, bustling commercial areas that have been around for ages. On the other, you'll see the super modern skyscrapers that Dubai is famous for.
To get a taste of local flavor, opt for the Emirati high tea package. It features delicious onboard snacks like chebab, khan faroush, vegetable samboosa, and duqan legemat.
