    The staff was amazing and very friendly.. the food on the other side was not so great. There were a few things missing from the menu on Headout. I would advise the Dhow Cruise passengers to take some snacks in case you are not able to eat the food they have.

    The whole experience can be better if support team provided with the correct information if pickup. They told pickup at 8:00pm while actual pickup was 7:00pm due to which I need to rush from my previous experience in a hurry to catch the cruise Overall cruise experience is OK but entertainment can be made better to improve the overall experience
  • Sail into the Arabian night

    Step aboard a beautifully crafted wooden dhow and be welcomed with a refreshing drink and sweet dates. As the boat glides through the Dubai Marina waters, soak in the stunning cityscape, from the towering skyline to the illuminated Ain Dubai. Check out Bluewaters Island and Jumeirah Beach Residence, all while the gentle sway of the dhow sets the perfect mood. Then, let the mesmerizing Tanoura dancer take center stage, spinning in a whirl of colorful lights that bring this cultural performance to life.

    Dinner time

    As the dhow drifts along the marina, treat yourself to a lavish international buffet filled with rich flavors. From creamy hummus to sizzling grilled chicken and aromatic curries. Dine on the open-air upper deck for uninterrupted skyline views or relax in the air-conditioned lower deck for a cozy retreat. With every bite, the city’s dazzling lights reflect on the water, making for a truly magical dining experience. Want a hassle-free evening? Upgrade with hotel transfers and enjoy a seamless journey from start to finish. However you choose to cruise, this is Dubai at its most enchanting.
