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.

The experience was good, food was good but since everyone had the access to both upper and lower decks, I felt cheated as I paid extra for upper deck. Headout should know about their partners and the service distinction when they charge separate fees.

    Lovely sea view at Marina, but the boat departed an hour late, so we had quite a wait. No need to pay extra for the upper deck—everyone can go up anyway. Food was just okay.

    They serve food very last, we waited for almost one hour at harbor. They quickly skip the all marina view with speed.

    The food was amazing, the entertainment was brilliant and the actual cruise beautiful.
  • Sail into the Arabian night

    Step aboard a beautifully crafted wooden dhow and be welcomed with a refreshing drink and sweet dates. As the boat glides through the Dubai Marina waters, soak in the stunning cityscape, from the towering skyline to the illuminated Ain Dubai. Check out Bluewaters Island and Jumeirah Beach Residence, all while the gentle sway of the dhow sets the perfect mood. Then, let the mesmerizing Tanoura dancer take center stage, spinning in a whirl of colorful lights that bring this cultural performance to life.

    Dinner time

    As the dhow drifts along the marina, treat yourself to a lavish international buffet filled with rich flavors. From creamy hummus to sizzling grilled chicken and aromatic curries. Dine on the open-air upper deck for uninterrupted skyline views or relax in the air-conditioned lower deck for a cozy retreat. With every bite, the city’s dazzling lights reflect on the water, making for a truly magical dining experience. Want a hassle-free evening? Upgrade with hotel transfers and enjoy a seamless journey from start to finish. However you choose to cruise, this is Dubai at its most enchanting.
