If you love old world charm, we recommend the Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise. As the dhow passes through Old Dubai, you get to enjoy the sights and sounds of places with an eventful history. Again, if you are keen to witness Dubai’s transformation from a small cluster of villages living off fishing and pearl farming, we recommend the Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise. On this cruise, you’ll be sailing gently through the upscale Dubai Marina enjoying the city’s spectacular skyline.
The dhows have two decks—the upper one is open air from where you can take in breathtaking views while the lower one is air-conditioned where you can relax in the lap of luxury. There’s never a dull moment aboard the dhows. Enjoy exciting performances by lively tanoura and belly dance artists.
We bet you won’t be able to keep yourself from tapping your feet and jiving to pulsating music played on board. Mingle with other guests in a happy place and get to know about the countries they are from. A sumptuous BBQ dinner spread is served on the dhow and you can dig into the delicious dishes as you enjoy the sights and sounds of vibrant Dubai.
If you are keen to escape Dubai’s hustle and bustle, we recommend the Musandam Dibba Dhow Cruise. This cruise has you sailing along very scenic Musandam Coast. The lovely rugged mountains, the desolate beaches, the beautiful bays and the humble fishing hamlets are a sight to behold on this unforgettable dhow cruise. As the dhow sails along, you’ll be thrilled to watch friendly dolphins swim along. The dhow shall stop for a while so you can enjoy snorkeling or taking a ride on a banana boat. You may go swimming or fishing as well. The lunch served on board is just delicious!
