Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek

Deira Creek is one of Dubai's oldest and most well-known tourist attractions. Dubai Creek is an inlet of the Persian Gulf that creates a very important waterway, making Dubai an important trading hub in the Middle East. Since the early 20th century, the creek has been dredged frequently to increase its depth so that big boats can reach the mainland directly. The creek also ensured a thriving trading and hospitality sector that was rapidly growing and supporting the fast-depleting oil reserves of the emirate. Thanks to the vision, the creek soon became the center stage of the unique dhow cruise. The Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek is for anyone who enjoys a boat trip. The wooden boat, called “Dhow” in Arabic, is a significant part of Emirati culture and history, and its inclusion in the cruise experience provides a unique cultural perspective. The cruise itself is a leisurely journey, passing through some landmark buildings, shopping arcades, forts, cultural centers, and the newly developed Infinity Bridge.
