FAQs
1. Is there a ticket to go on a Dubai Dhow Cruise?
2. What are the rules and regulations to follow while on a Dubai Dhow Cruise?
Pick up facilities are only viable from hotels and not apartments, hence, plan your visit accordingly.
It is best to be dressed casually for the dinner cruises. The setting is primarily informal and hence, smart casuals should be fine.
Like most super cities, Dubai truly comes alive when the lights are on and buildings near the Creek are so bright that it will almost resemble sunlight, turning the night into day. This is a special effect that you should not miss.
According to most tourists, the Dubai Marina has better views compared to the Creek. However, Dubai Creek cruises are considerably cheaper than Dubai Marina Cruises.
Dhow cruise ships normally carry only fixed number of passengers. If you're part of a large group, please cross-check the number of people allowed on Dhow cruises before booking.
On a dinner cruise, the cuisine is typically Middle Eastern or Arabic, but make sure that you try everything as the recipes vary between operators.
