I booked this cruise just to spend a different evening, but given the price I did not expect anything exceptional. 14 € in low season, 12.50 € with discounts after other bookings. As soon as we depart, dinner is served buffet style, in small groups so there is no confusion and everyone can help themselves at their leisure. Quite varied and surprisingly good dishes. After several encores of dishes and desserts, a show begins at the end of the evening that entertains until we return. All well organized. Recommended. Only flaw, the location provided on Maps, is incorrect. Better to get to the piers a little earlier and ask.

Had an amazing time on the Dhow Cruise on 29 July 2025! The food was delicious, the entertainment was lively, and the views were breathtaking. It was a fantastic evening out with the family, and everyone enjoyed themselves. The crew were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this Dhow Cruise for a fun and memorable evening. 👍

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!

    A wonderful experience with the Desert Safari with Like Tourism in Dubai. Our guide Mr.Ranjith, was really friendly and amazing with his driving skills. We were a group of 6 people, everybody enjoyed the thrilling rides in a comfortable Land Cruiser through the Red Dunes, Quad bikes, and the mind-blowing events - including the fire show, belly dance, and Tanura at the camp. All the credits go to the Headout app. We got the tickets at the best price. It was easy to book the package, and I would say it's a must-try for everyone who visits and wants to explore Dubai. I would also like to point out some drawbacks of the trip: 1. The staff at Quad Bike (Sahara Adventures) was not at all friendly. He was in a hurry, and we felt very uncomfortable with him. Could not take enough pictures from the Dunes, which was disappointing. 2. The dinner at the Atlanta Camp was cold and not worth it. We would not recommend. None of us liked 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.
