Travel guides and tips

  • Yes, cruises in Dubai are one of the most popular experiences tried by both locals and tourists. Depending on your budget, schedule, and other personal preferences, you can choose to go for a dinner cruise, lunch cruise, or sightseeing cruise.
  • There are various cruise types to choose from in Dubai.
    • Dubai dhow cruise: Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise is the most popular type of cruise in Dubai. On traditional boats, known as 'dhows' in the region, you can go for sightseeing, dinner, or lunch on a Dubai Marina dhow cruise, Dubai Creek dhow cruise, or Dubai Canal cruise.
    • Yacht tours: If you're looking for a unique, indulgent experience, yacht tours in Dubai are the way to go. From the Dubai Marina, set sail on luxurious yachts for a day of discovering Dubai's skyline under the sun. Enjoy continental meals, live entertainment, and more.
    • Boat tours: Feel the cool sea breeze against your skin on yellow boat tours in Dubai. Hop onboard speed boats and depending on the ticket you've opted for, zoom along the sea and discover popular landmarks in the city for 30/45/60/90 minutes.
  • Your boarding point would vary based on the type of cruise you would opt for. Broadly, you can choose from Dubai Marina cruise, Dubai Creek dhow cruise, and Dubai Canal cruise.
    • If you for a cruise along the Marina, your boarding point will be near the Dubai Marina Yacht Club or Marina Bay.
    • At the Creek, your boarding point may be at one of the many piers such as Al Hamriya.
    • The Dubai Water Canal cruise pier would be the common boarding point for Canal cruises. The confirmed details with the boarding point and tips on how to get there will be a part of your confirmed ticket.
  • Spot some of the city's top landmarks on your cruise in Dubai. Depending on your location, here's what you can see:
    • Dubai Marina: Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis Hotel, Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, and more.
    • Dubai Creek: You can see historic landmarks like Sheikh Saeed's House, Heritage Village, National Bank of Dubai, Old Boat Fort, and more
    • Canal cruise: You can see the Burj Khalifa, Business Bay Bridge, Festival City and more.
  • Dinner cruises in Dubai are definitely better than lunch cruises in Dubai. On a Dubai dinner cruise, meals include a variety of continental and local dishes spanning vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. You'll also be entertained in the background with live music, traditional dance performances, or shows. Moreover, a dinner cruise gives you the unique vantage point of soaking in the city's brightly lit skyline and avoids the unpleasantness of sailing under the hot Arabian sun.
  • Yes, dinner and lunch cruises in Dubai serve meals. You will be treated to a widespread buffet that would include continental as well as a traditional dishes, with snacks and refreshments, and a fun few hours of live entertainment. Please keep in mind that sightseeing cruises do not include meals and only dinner/lunch cruises do.
  • Not all cruises in Dubai would include alcohol beverages. Sightseeing cruises, Abra rides, and boat tours would not include drinks, but luxury dinner cruises and yacht tours may serve liqour. Make sure to check the specifications of your ticket before booking.
  • Yes, sunset cruises are available in Dubai and offer a glorious view of the city's skyline bathed in orange and gold. Most sunset cruises are a part of dinner cruises, which includes a complete buffet meal with live entertainment and refreshments.
  • Ideally, the best part of the day to take a sunset cruise is during the evenings to avoid the harsh Dubai heat and enjoy the pleasant weather and cool breeze. Daytime cruises, while allowing you clearly discover popular landmarks, are often uncomfortable due to the blazing sun. If you are looking for a day cruise, the best time would be to go between the months of November to April, when the city experiences its winter and spring seasons.
  • Sightseeing cruises in Dubai generally last between 30-60 minutes, while dinner and lunch cruises carry on for longer, about 2-3 hours. Boat tours are shorter, between 30-45 minutes.
  • Some sightseeing cruises may include an audioguide or an expert local guide, while others may not. You would have to check for the specifics in the ticket you choose.

It was a pleasant night when cruising around the harbour especially we got some cool breeze to chill out. The services were good. This was the first time we witness Tanoura dance, it was awesome 🙌 We were glad to get the tickets through with Headout for the last night in Dubai due to last moment of booking.

First of all, a car was sent to pick us up all the way from Sharjah. That was really much appreciated. When we arrived at the dock we didn't have to wait long before we were called for boarding. A couple of photos were taken and we were asked to get on. Our table waa located on the upper deck and it was pleasant up there. The staff were polite and were very attentive. Dinner was a buffet setting, and the food was very good with meat, fish, and vegetarian choices. There was also a few salads and desserts and softdrinks served. Any other drinks y Can be ordered for a fee. There was live entertainment after dinner as well. The dhow ride itself was pleasant with the cool weather and full moon. It was a lovely experience and one we would like to repeat.
