Dhow & Dinner Cruise

2 Hours

Dhow Cruise Dubai 

Dubai is famous for its stunning skyline, luxurious lifestyle, and unique tourist experiences, but one activity that stands out for both locals and visitors is the Dhow Cruise. This traditional wooden boat ride offers a perfect blend of culture, dining, and entertainment as you sail along the Dubai Marina or Dubai Creek. A Dhow Cruise is an unforgettable way to experience the city’s charm from the water, making it a must-try for families, couples, and groups.

1. The Traditional Charm of a Dhow Cruise

Dhows are classic wooden vessels that were once used for fishing and pearl trading in the Arabian Gulf. Today, these boats have been beautifully restored and transformed into floating restaurants, combining old-world Arabian charm with modern comfort. Stepping aboard a Dhow takes you on a journey back in time while still enjoying luxurious amenities and top-class service.

2. Two Stunning Locations – Marina & Creek

Guests can choose between two main routes for their Dhow Cruise experience:

  • Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise: Sail through the heart of Dubai’s modern cityscape surrounded by dazzling skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and the famous Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel. This cruise is perfect for those who want to see the city lights and enjoy a glamorous atmosphere.

  • Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise: This route takes you along the historic side of Dubai, showcasing traditional souks, heritage sites, and old trading ports. It offers a more cultural and laid-back vibe, giving you a glimpse into the city’s rich past.

Both options promise spectacular photo opportunities and a peaceful, scenic ride under the starlit sky.

3. Lavish Buffet Dinner

One of the main highlights of a Dhow Cruise is the international buffet dinner served onboard. Guests can enjoy a variety of dishes, including traditional Arabic cuisine, continental favorites, fresh salads, seafood, and mouth-watering desserts. Refreshments, tea, and coffee are also available throughout the cruise, ensuring a delightful dining experience as you drift along Dubai’s waterways.

4. Live Entertainment on Board

To make the evening more special, the Dhow Cruise features live entertainment shows, including:

  • Tanoura Dance Performances – A traditional Egyptian folk dance performed in colorful costumes.

  • Live Music or Singing – Soft melodies enhancing the evening ambiance.

  • Puppet and Light Shows (on some cruises) – Especially enjoyable for families with kids.

This mix of cultural performances and a relaxing atmosphere creates an unforgettable Arabian night experience.

5. Perfect for Couples, Families & Events

Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two, a family outing, or even a private party or corporate event, a Dhow Cruise offers the perfect venue. The calm waters, glittering city views, and warm hospitality make it an ideal choice for any occasion.
