The experience
The cruise runs two hours total. You board a traditional dhow at the marina, settle in with welcome drinks (water, tea or coffee), and the boat pushes out into the Dubai Marina. The Yacht Club and Marina Towers slide past as you move through the water. Dinner is a buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, served while you're afloat. The Tanoura Show, a traditional spinning performance with soft background music, plays during the sail.
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for Dubai hotels only, so the logistics of getting to the marina are handled. The dhow itself is wheelchair accessible, and infants can travel in a pram or stroller, or sit on an adult's lap. Specialized infant seats are available if you need one. A live English-speaking guide is on board. Children from age 3 are welcome.
Is this one for you?Book this shared dhow if you want to dine and watch live entertainment alongside other travelers. Choose a private dhow if your group prefers an exclusive boat.
