A fantastic way to see the Dubai skyline. We booked the 1-hour cruise and it was the perfect length of time. The panoramic views of the skyscrapers from the water are breathtaking, especially seeing the 'Twisted Tower' and the Ferris wheel up close. The boat wasn't overcrowded, and there was plenty of room to move around for pictures. Highly recommend doing this around sunset.
