Staff was good, food was good even for vegetarians. Tkt experience was good. 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. Then the phone number he gave was wrong & closed for checking on location of the dhow. Thanks.

Our driver Tanveer Siraj picked us up from our hotel and was such a nice guy. Really pleasant. The views and food on the cruise was fabulous. The cruise was 1 and half hours long. The only downside is that they expect you to finish your food really fast so they can clear up. If it is a cruise dinner for 1 and half hours then people should be able to grab their food all throughout and eat at ease. I got my food but I kept taking pictures while the boat was passing by nice buildings and then when I sat down to eat I was told to hurry up. The coke finished really fast so they should stock up. No fan or ac facility on upper deck. It was so hot even in the evening. Most staff on the cruise very very nice apart from 1 staff member who looked very angry all the time. The entertainment was really nice. Overall I would rate it full marks and would book this again. Me and my husband and kids loved it. A night to remember.

Your experience

Sail into the heart of Dubai

The cruise departs from Deira, where you'll check in at the Dubai Creek pier. Right off the bat, you'll be welcomed with fresh juices, aromatic Arabian coffee, and dates. After the warm welcome, hop onto the sleek, modern dhow, beautifully transformed into a floating restaurant. As you set sail, the charming sights of Old Dubai come to life around you: the historic Al Fahidi Neighborhood with its iconic wind towers, offering a striking contrast to the modern skyline; the Deira Clocktower; and the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House are just a few to name.

Feast for your eyes (and belly!)

The cruise features a lavish international buffet bursting with flavors – from savory Indian dishes and classic Italian fare to local Arabic specialties. Your dinner is just the beginning of the fun. Watch the amazing Tanoura dance, where performers spin in colorful skirts. It's unique, interactive, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Pick your preferred spot, either on the lower or upper deck, and remember, you can always upgrade to include hotel transfers for an even smoother evening.
