Dhow Cruise Dinner - Marina

This Dhow Cruise Dinner sails Dubai Marina for about 90 minutes aboard a traditional wooden dhow, the kind of vessel once used for fishing and pearl diving before Dubai's oil era. The route runs along the marina's Venetian-style canal setting, past the residences, resorts and shopping developments that line its banks.

Guests are asked to reach the Dubai Marina Yacht Club venue about 30 minutes before departure. Where a hotel transfer is added to the booking, it picks up from a centrally located hotel or residence in Dubai and returns you there once the cruise ends.

Welcome drink and buffet dinner (from boarding)

Once onboard, you are welcomed with a drink before settling into the dhow's air-conditioned lower deck or its partly open upper deck. The buffet is a four-star international spread with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, served soon after the cruise gets underway, with soft background music playing in the setting.

Tanura show and the marina by night

As the dhow moves along the marina, a Tanura show is staged onboard, set against the illuminated towers and waterfront that line Dubai Marina. On dry days, in line with UAE government guidelines, entertainment is paused and alcohol is not served, though the cruise, dinner and views continue as usual.

Along with this experience, Dubai Cruise and Boat Tours offer diverse ways to see the city from the water, while the Xclusive Dinner Cruise is perfect for those seeking a more upscale evening.
