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.

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.
