Booking the Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise through the *Headout* app was a breeze and totally worth it! 🎊 The app made the reservation super simple – just a few taps and I got an instant confirmation with a handy mobile ticket. I also snagged a nice discount that made the experience even more affordable. The convenience of having everything in one digital ticket meant no hassle at the venue; I just showed the e‑ticket and walked straight onto the upper‑deck for dinner and live entertainment. The seamless booking process and added discount turned what could’ve been a regular outing into a premium, stress‑free adventure. Highly recommend using Headout for easy bookings, great deals, and hassle‑free travel experiences!

It was a good experience as you get to see dubai al-seef part as well. I must say the cruise was not top notch it is very old school kinda boat only but for once you can go to enjoy creek side of dubai. Moreover I would recommend go to marina side and have a cruise there

    Amazing trip. Testy food with nice entertainment Very frendly staff. You must feel and go for it. 👍👍👍
  • 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.
