Det var en behagelig aften, da vi sejlede rundt i havnen, især fik vi en kølig brise til at slappe af. Servicen var god. Det var første gang, vi så Tanoura-dans, og det var fantastisk 🙌 Vi var glade for at få billetterne gennem Headout til den sidste aften i Dubai på grund af booking i sidste øjeblik.

Dubai Creek Cruise byder på en smuk blanding af gammeldags charme og moderne luksus. Udsigten er fantastisk med historiske bygninger side om side med byens skyline. Middagen var lækker, og den blide aftenbrise gjorde det til en afslappende og mindeværdig oplevelse. Jeg kan varmt anbefale det til alle, der ønsker at udforske Dubai fra vandet!

  • Dubai is a land of wonders; record-breaking skyscrapers, pristine beaches, massive malls, and luxury cars define the city of dreams now. However, its root lies in the traditional Bedouin culture of the Arabian Peninsula, in particular the tribe that lived along the Dubai Creek. Many cultural manifestations from the time can still be found today, playing an important part in the day to day life of Dubai. And none are more important than the Dhow - traditional wooden boats that were masterfully designed and built by the local fishing communities and used for navigating the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

  • What is a Dhow?
    Apart from being one of the most sought-after experiences in Dubai, Dhow boats have a rich heritage associated with it. An integral part of Dubai’s lifeline through history, Dhow, wooden boats that were built by the fishing communities by stitching together planks of wood with coconut and palm leaves was used for diving and trading purposes. In their modern reinvention, Dhow cruises have become a hotspot among tourists visiting Dubai as it promises an experience soaked in the traditional practices and modern luxury that the land of superlatives has come to be known for.
  • Travelling through Dubai is a truly life-changing experience as you enjoy the prowess of the supercity in the middle of a sprawling desert. Exploring Dubai and what it has to offer is a pretty straightforward experience - from bus tours to helicopter guided tours, the city has something for everyone. Cruises are popular amongst tourists. The two highly sought after Dhow cruises - Creek and Marina, have their own set of absolutely spell-binding vistas of the Arab city.
    Dubai Creek:
    Dubai Creek has been central to the region’s development as it was once the primary source of livelihood for the local communities. The bustling old city areas of Deira and Bur Dubai that spread out on either side of the creek are peppered with ancient monuments and market areas like the Heritage Village, Gold and Spice Souks, Sheikh Saeed’s House, the Grand Mosque, and Old Boat Fort.
    Dubai Marina:
    Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city along the Persian Gulf shore, which also doubles up as the world's largest man-made marina. With skyscrapers like the Burj Al Arab and Dubai Mall on its banks, the canal district has the world’s tallest building and the largest mall that are part of the world’s ‘tallest block’. The Marina area also comprises wonderfully architected skyscrapers, including the Dubai Marina Yacht club, Dubai Marina Mall, and a large number of five-star hotels.
  • What is the significance of Dubai Creek?

    The bustling old city areas of Deira and Bur Dubai that spread out on either side of the creek are peppered with ancient monuments and market areas like the Heritage Village, Gold and Spice Souks, Sheikh Saeed’s House, the Grand Mosque, and Old Boat Fort.
    Why should you choose the Dubai Creek Dhow cruise?
    The various Dhow cruise experiences at Dubai Creek offer a panoramic view of all of these iconic sites, and more. All in all, a Dhow Cruise in Dubai Creek is a distinct experience and is a must-do activity if you are planning a trip to Dubai.
    What is the significance of Dubai Marina?
    Dubai is called the city of superlatives because every new development here is bigger and better than the last and Dubai Marina’s rise to prominence in the ongoing decade has a lot to do with this title.
    What are the major landmarks you’ll get to see on the cruise?
    With buildings like the Burj Al Arab and Dubai Mall, the canal district has the world’s most luxurious hotel and the largest mall that are part of the world’s ‘tallest block’. Other landmarks in Dubai Marina are Hotel Atlantis the Palm, Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Marina Yatch Club Promenade.
    Why should I choose the Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise?
    Apart from offering stunning vistas of some of Dubai's most famous landmarks, visiting the canal city of Dubai Marina with its shiny high rises and sprawling infrastructure is an awe-inspiring experience that you will not forget.
    What is the significance of Dubai Canal?
    The Dubai Water Canal is one of Dubai’s most expensive and environment-friendly projects.Dubai Canal is a 3.2 kilometer long waterway that origins from Business Bay and pours into the Persian Gulf, stretching past Al Safa Park and Jumeirah through its course.
    What are the major landmarks you’ll get to see on the cruise?
    On this cruise, you'll drift past the urban parts of Dubai, including the Business Bay Bridge, Safa Park, Dubai Festival City Mall, Burj Khalifa, JW Marquis Hotel and the Westin Hotel.
    Why should I choose the Dubai Canal Dhow Cruise?
    You can traverse through the canal on a more comfortable boat or ferry, but to truly enjoy the authentic Arab cruise experience, you'll need to sit atop the traditional Arabic Dhow or Abra as you soak in fantastic views of the most modern parts of Dubai.
    What are the Dubai Sightseeing Cruises?
    Experiencing a Dhow cruise is a wonderful way to go about sightseeing Dubai. The city has a host of landmarks and attractions that one can see from the waters of Dubai Creek and Dubai Marina. Most sightseeing Dhow cruises take place during the day while dinner cruises are dedicated to dinners.
    Which are the best Sightseeing Cruises?
    Dubai Sightseeing Cruises come in a plethora of variations and is fully customized to meet youe unique needs. You can choose between a cruise through the Dubai Creek, Marina or Canal, each with its own set of mesmerizing views of the golden city. Some operators also offer sightseeing trips at night, which is possibly the best view of Dubai you'll get in the UAE.
    What are the Dubai Dinner Cruises?
    Most Dhow cruises that operate at night are dedicated dinner cruises. The dinner consists of an international buffet prepared with 5- star standards and the cuisine consists of delectable dishes from around the world. With plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, a dinner Dhow cruise is something everyone would enjoy.
    What makes the Dubai Dinner Cruise special?
    The two-hour cruise and dinner consists of a three-course continental buffet with a wide range of dishes to choose from (depends on your package). A lively two piece entertainment program consisting of a female vocalist and a male tanura dance show is also included (depends on your package).
  • Sights Covered: Although cruising the Dubai Creek and visiting the older part of town has its own charm, the sights can be limited. While the Deira side of the creek has a few landmark buildings such as the Sheraton or the Dubai Municipality building, the Bur Dubai side of the creek is dominated by a promenade before opening up to the old Bastakiya Quarter, traditional souks and the Heritage Village further up the creek
    Ambience: A cruise through the Dubai Marina is pretty much the image you've come to expect of Dubai. Dubai Creek, being the older of the two, offer more of a walk through Dubai's history. Though there are prominent buildings on the banks of the Creek, these are neither new or old and some visitors may find them underwhelming.
    Experience: Being fairly modern, the quality of the overall cruise - vessel standard, sightseeing, dinner and entertainment - in Dubai Marina is observably better than a cruise in Dubai Creek. Though the Creek has many high quality Dhow operators, the sheer large number of operators in the region ensures that a fair number of cruises are mediocre in standard.
    Sights Covered: Dubai Marina is a fairly modern construction and the skyscrapers surrounding it feature an array of post modern architectural elements within them. The Marina is also flanked by a promenade on both banks with people going on walks or sitting down in outdoor cafes and restaurants to have a lovely evening. Passing under bridges as they carry cars and trams across the Marina is also a unique experience.
    Ambience: In the Dubai Marina, you will be surrounded by buildings defined by the most modern skyscraper architecture principles. The environment in and around the Dubai Marina is also relaxed and leisurely compared to the Dubai Creek. The latter has a routine feel, with a heavy commercial traffic.
    Experience: The more premium of the two, the competition for operators in Dubai Marina is strict and compelling, ensuring a higher quality in the process compared to Dubai Creek. While the boats used are more or less the same, the experience varies greatly as Dubai Marina boats bost better facilities and maintenance.
  • Dhow cruises sail throughout the day, and offer either sightseeing or luxury dining opportunities. Depending upon what you would like to experience, you can opt for day-time cruises which are geared for sightseeing or go for cruises later in the evening that are popular for dinner and onboard entertainment.
    To be on a cruise during sunset or after the city is blanketed under a moonlit night sky can be a magical experience. Dubai Dhow Cruises gliding along the beautiful setting of Dubai Creek or the Marina offer a different experience at different times of the day. If you are looking to see the intricacy of the architectural marvels, an early morning or an afternoon cruise may be a good idea for you. But avoid being on an open deck during the sunny hours of the day.
