The experience

You step onto the catamaran at Al Jaddaf and find comfortable seating, with the deck open for strolling whenever you like. The waterway opens out with the city skyline and landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa in the view. Early on you pass Dubai Festival City, its architecture, malls and bridges over the water canal drifting by.

Dinner is an international buffet, with orange juice served alongside. While you eat, the live entertainment starts, with a traditional tanoura dance and then a puppet show. A guide is on board with you.

Along the Al Jaddaf waterfront you catch a glimpse of hotels like Versace and floating villas. Whether you take the sunset sailing or the night view, the same stretch of water looks quite different in the changing light.
