Right from the management to the sumptuous food to the marina view on the dhow cruise, each and everything was immaculate and well taken care of. A must do for everyone and without a doubt a highly recommended activity.Jagan

if you’re looking for an entertaining, scenic evening in Dubai with a mix of good food, music, and a lively atmosphere, the Alexander Show Cruise is a solid option. However, as with most touristy activities, it’s a good idea to manage expectations about the food quality and understand that some of the charm comes from the overall experience rather than specific elements.Arghanish

It was an awesome experience, lovely dance show and good food and services.
A night to remember on Dubai Marina
Step aboard the Alexandra Dhow, a traditional 90-foot dhow, and set sail on a cruise that turns dinner into an experience. The Marina’s skyline comes alive as you glide past its towering skyscrapers, bustling promenades, and luxury yachts drifting through the water. Marvel at the Cayan Tower, take in the energy of JBR’s waterfront, and cruise toward Bluewaters Island, where Ain Dubai stands tall. Whether you’re on the open-air upper deck, feeling the breeze, or inside the air-conditioned lower deck with panoramic views, the sights are nothing short of spectacular.
Great food and vibes
A generous buffet awaits, with sizzling grilled meats, rich curries, fresh salads, and indulgent desserts, served alongside Arabic coffee and dates. As you dine, a Tanoura dancer spins in a hypnotic swirl of colors, bringing an authentic touch of Arabian tradition. Choose a sunset cruise for stunning dusk views or a dinner cruise for a front-row seat to Dubai’s dazzling nightlife. With an optional hotel transfer for dinner cruises, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
