The dhow cruise went all the way out to the sea, so we could enjoy Dubai’s night view not only from the creek but also from the seaside. With dinner and entertainment included, the price — just about 2,400 yen per person — was an incredible deal!

The Dubai Creek Cruise offers a beautiful blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. The views are stunning, with historic buildings alongside the city’s skyline. The dinner was delicious, and the gentle evening breeze made for a relaxing, memorable experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore Dubai from the water!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ Average Experience The experience at the venue was just average. The staff seemed very unorganized everything was done with pen and paper, and they couldn’t find my booking properly. The whole process felt slow and outdated. They really need to upgrade their system and improve coordination to give customers a smoother and more professional experience.

  • Sail into the heart of Dubai

    The cruise departs from Deira, where you'll check in at the Dubai Creek pier. Right off the bat, you'll be welcomed with fresh juices, aromatic Arabian coffee, and dates. After the warm welcome, hop onto the sleek, modern dhow, beautifully transformed into a floating restaurant. As you set sail, the charming sights of Old Dubai come to life around you: the historic Al Fahidi Neighborhood with its iconic wind towers, offering a striking contrast to the modern skyline; the Deira Clocktower; and the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House are just a few to name.

    Feast for your eyes (and belly!)

    The cruise features a lavish international buffet bursting with flavors – from savory Indian dishes and classic Italian fare to local Arabic specialties. Your dinner is just the beginning of the fun. Watch the amazing Tanoura dance, where performers spin in colorful skirts. It's unique, interactive, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Pick your preferred spot, either on the lower or upper deck, and remember, you can always upgrade to include hotel transfers for an even smoother evening.
