A sail to remember

Step onto a traditional Arabian dhow, graced with intricate wooden carvings and plush seating, for a 2-hour night cruise along the Abu Dhabi coast. Greeted with a red carpet entry, a sprinkle of rose water, and the aromatic embrace of Frankincense or Bakhoor, your journey begins with a welcome drink, setting the stage for an evening steeped in Emirati heritage.

Dinner on a dhow

Bathed in moonlight, the old dawa boats that were once central to trade across the Indian Ocean, sail past the Abu Dhabi shoreline. The Emirates Palace and the towering Etihad Towers sparkle like jewels in the night with the music enlivening the ambiance.

Savor a 5-star international dinner, elegantly packed and designed to be enjoyed on board. Complemented by dates and Arabic coffee, this meal celebrates the region’s culinary landscape.
