  • Dubai today is an exemplary city that showcases what a modern civilization with few to no constraints can grow to become into. Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city along the Persian Gulf shore, which also happens to be the world's largest man-made marina! We believe that is reason enough to visit the Dubai Marina! However, there's more. With buildings like the Burj Al Arab and Dubai Mall, the canal district has the world’s tallest building and the largest mall that are part of the world’s ‘tallest block’.The Marina area also comprises wonderfully architected skyscrapers including the Dubai Marina Yacht club, Dubai Marina Mall, and large number of five-star hotels.
  • A Dubai Marina Dhow cruise experience is one of the most sought-after Dubai experiences. Cruising in Dubai Marina allows you to gaze upon prominent Dubai landmarks such as Dubai Yacht Club, the yacht club promenade, Dubai Marina Mall, Sheikh's Boatyard, Jumeirah Beach Residence and parts of the Palm.

  • Dhows have featured in the culture of Dubai from time immemorial. Since the days when the city was settled along the Dubai Creek, dhows have played a huge role in building the city from its days as a fishing village to the modern trade hub of today. Dhows have evolved along with the city. Earlier, dhows were single sailed boats that could seat a small group of people. Today, they have evolved to become cruising vessels that will travel the seas and comfortably house a restaurant, world-class facilities as well as host at least a 100 people.

    The Dhow

    Almost all cruises take place in large wooden boats that are called dhows. These cruising vessels are large enough to host more than 100 people comfortably. They usually feature an indoor seating facility and an outdoor deck where one can stroll to, breathe the fresh air and take in the uninterrupted sights of Dubai.
    A few cruises happen on more modern versions of these dhows and feature 360-degree glass walls. Even though these boats are not reflective of the wooden dhow traditions, they bring the same benefits to the field as traditional wooden dhows.
    Finally, a few cruises take place in smaller boats called abras. Abras have been used as water taxis for centuries. Capable of seating anywhere between 10-20 people, these small boats are a unique way to experience Dubai.

    Meals

    A dhow cruise will be incomplete without a dinner. Most, if not all, dhow cruises have a vast buffet spread that features food dishes from around the world. With enough options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, there is something for everyone. Dishes range from local preparations such as shawarmas, fattoush, and baklava; Indian snacks, curries and biryanis; Italian pastas and pizzas, barbeque and grilled meats, a variety of seafood and of course, desserts. Some dhows prepare their food on board while most have them prepared with the highest standards at 5-star hotels. These buffets definitely are an attractive feature of the dhow cruises.

    Seating

    The Dubai climate forces the seating in most dhow cruises to be indoors. With glass panels for walls, you will be able to comfortably view the sights of Dubai. There will also be an outdoor deck that provides a welcome break for those wishing to stretch their legs and go out, feel the air coming in from the sea and catch uninterrupted views of Dubai.

    Entertainment

    As you enjoy your dinner, you will be entertained by multiple forms of dance and entertainment shows that performers will put up for you. Some of the popular shows that are put up include tanoura dance, puppet shows, horse dance, magic show and others.

    Sightseeing Route

    The Dubai Creek dhow cruises will allow you to sightsee landmarks such as Dubai Chamber of Commerce, Heritage Village, Al Diwan or The Ruler’s Assembly, traditional gold & spice souks, Emirates N.B.D. Headquarters, Sheraton Dubai Creek and the Rolex Twin Towers. Cruising in Dubai Marina, you will be able to gaze at the Dubai Yacht Club, the yacht club promenade, Dubai Marina Mall, Sheikh's Boatyard, Jumeirah Beach Residence and parts of the Palm. Finally, cruises in Dubai Water Canal will allow you to view Festival City Mall, Ras Al Khor Sanctuary, Business Bay, Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Zayed Road Waterfall Bridge and JW Marriott Hotel and St Regis Hotel.

    Day vs Night

    Sightseeing dhow cruises are more frequent than dinner cruises as they take place through the day. If you’re looking to go for a sightseeing cruise only, you can have your pick from a range of cruises that leave at regular intervals, starting before noon. Day sightseeing cruises have clearer views while night cruises are more magical and also have the option for dinner.
  • 1. Is there a ticket to go on a Dubai Dhow Cruise?

    Yes, you need tickets to access the shows to go on a Dhow cruise in Dubai. There are quite a few ticket variations to choose from, including Dubai Creek Cruise tickets, Dubai Marina Cruise tickets, and Dinner Dhow Cruise tickets.

    2. What are the rules and regulations to follow while on a Dubai Dhow Cruise?

    During the holy month of Ramadan there will be no belly dance, music and alcohol as per the law of UAE.
    Pick up facilities are only viable from hotels and not apartments, hence, plan your visit accordingly.
