It was absolutely incredible and surely unforgettable. However, I don't think Indian music or anything other than Arabic music belongs on these boats. We come to the UAE to discover Arab culture and we end up discovering a completely different culture which we have no problem with, but it's not what we want.

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.

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.

Set sail on a traditional Dubai dhow cruise, perfect for couples, families, and friends seeking a magical night on the waters of Dubai Marina.

Pick between the open-air upper deck or the air-conditioned lower deck, and upgrade your experience with optional hotel transfers for added ease.

Feast on an international buffet with Arabic and global flavors as you glide past Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, and the Jumeirah Beach skyline.

The views from the boat were amazing! The food did not look appealing and there was not enough variety. There was mainly indian food. We were offered drinks on board but were not told we had to pay for them until someone came to the table to charge us. There was no explanation of what we were looking at either. The entertainment lasted 10 mins.

Good experience for dîner in marina

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.
