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

Ticketing experience is very good nd also food is very good

Sail into the night on a dhow

Step aboard a beautifully crafted wooden dhow and be welcomed with a refreshing drink and sweet dates—because every great evening should start with a treat. As you settle in, the boat gently drifts away from Dubai Marina, where the city’s towering skyscrapers shimmer like a constellation of luxury. The breeze is cool, the water is calm, and the view? Dazzling. Glide past Bluewaters Island, where Ain Dubai—the world's tallest observation wheel—stands like a glowing ringmaster over the skyline.

Dinner and dancing

As the city lights twinkle on the water, indulge in a buffet of international flavors, because let’s be honest—cruising and good food are a perfect match. Then, get ready for a show! A Tanoura dancer takes the stage, spinning in a blur of vibrant colors, proving that dizziness is a mere suggestion. With Jumeirah Beach Residence in the distance and the rhythmic sway of the dhow, you’ll feel like time has slowed down just for this moment. After two hours of sights, flavors, and entertainment, the cruise returns to Dubai Marina, leaving you with a heart full of memories and maybe a sudden urge to learn how to spin in circles.
