Enjoy a relaxed two-hour evening cruise through Dubai Marina aboard a traditional wooden dhow or modern dhow-style vessel. See the illuminated Marina skyline, Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, JBR and waterfront landmarks while enjoying a buffet dinner, complimentary beverages and Tanoura entertainment.
Dubai Marina looks different after sunset. The towers light up, yachts move through the waterways and the waterfront becomes one of the city’s most recognizable evening scenes.
The Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina is designed to let you enjoy that setting without rushing from one attraction to another.
Board at 8:00 PM, with departure at approximately 8:30 PM, and settle in for around two hours on the water. As the dhow follows its route through Dubai Marina and towards the coastal waters around Bluewaters Island and JBR, you can enjoy the skyline from the water while having dinner and watching the evening entertainment.
It is a straightforward evening: good food, good service, beautiful surroundings and time to simply enjoy Dubai Marina.
