The Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek Experience
The Dhow cruise on Dubai Creek starts at the newly developed Al Seef area. The first thing that strikes you is how beautiful this area is. Thanks to the recent investment in this area, which has added shopping and cultural centers and emphasized the hospitality sector, it has become Dubai’s new “it” place.
Welcoming you to our majestic Dhow. To book your Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek experience, visit our website and follow the simple booking process. We also offer special discounts for group bookings and early reservations, so don’t miss out on these great deals.
Once you reach the berthing area, you will come across a majestic and decorated Dhow with our staff awaiting you and getting you on board. You would be greeted and informed about the seat number. A few steps up, you would be at the doorstep of the dhow, where a smiling staff member would welcome you with a refreshing juice. As our dhow is named, Al Wasl Dhow is one of the best and newest Dhows sailing on Dubai Creek. It is beautifully furnished with wooden interiors, cushioned chairs, and well-laid tables. The Dhow is divided into two decks: the lower deck is your landing area, which is fully airconditioned, and the upper one is airy but fully open to the sky above. The comfort and luxury of the Dhow will make you feel pampered and relaxed throughout the cruise.

Dhow Cruise Menu
The menu aboard the Dhow cruise is fit for a king. The delicious culinary experience starts with Arabic and Greek salads served with a generous portion of Arabic bread, both prepared by our skilled chefs and cooks.

Historical landmarks
Although AL Seef is one of the latest developments in Dubai, the cruise on the Dubai Creek is all about a visual journey through the culture and heritage of Dubai as well as the souks on the other side. You would also come across another landmark of Dubai, i.e., the Infinity Bridge. This iconic bridge is constructed over the creek to reduce the traffic on the Al Shandaga tunnel. The bridge is imposing and well-lit. The old living quarter of Sheikh Saeed, the grandfather of the current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed, has now been developed into art, culture, and F&B outlets. You would also get to see the huge palace of one of the princesses during your sail. However, the best part of the cruise is the old-world charm of Deira Dubai on one side and Bur Dubai on the other, as well as the vast expanse of the Persian Gulf ahead of you. It is selfie time every moment!
The Three-Course Buffet
An experience of Dhow Cruise Deira is incomplete without the 3-course dinner buffet-style with our famous hospitality. Be it different salads as the starters or an abundant spread of Indian, Arabic, and Continental cuisines, our chefs bring the best items to make your cruise memorable. Our helpful servers will help you plate your food, too. On your table, we would constantly top up your favorite fizzy drink (non-alcoholic). To satisfy your craving for sweets, you offer our third dinner course, i.e., Indian and Arabic sweets like “Gulab Jamun” and “Shahi Tukda” with cut fruits of the season. There is also post-dinner tea and coffee to help you be energetic.
The entertainment on Dhow Cruise
Our in-house DJ will get into the groove with the choicest music during the cruise. The music will keep you entertained and enthused. We bring out our Tanura dancer while you are at the end of your 3-course dinner. A male artist performs this dance, doing all his movements while rotating. Under the dimmed light conditions, he would light up the boat with his colored lights. While the dance looks simple, it is challenging when he invites you over for one move with him. Your eyes would feel dizzy, and you would almost fall on the floor. The Tanura dance is our best cruise entertainment experience; it will stay on your phone and mind for a long time.
Difference between Dhow Cruise Marina and Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek
Dhow Marina is a premium cruise on the artificial canal of Dubai Marina. The Dubai Marina Canal was officially opened on 9 November 2016. It’s a 3.2 km-long waterway extending from the Business Bay to Safa Park and into the Arabian Gulf, creating a new waterfront. This cruise takes you through one of the most well-developed real estate in the world that mimics Miami in the United States. This hub of new Dubai has become a center for shopping, the latest fashion, and gourmet food. During the Dhow Cruise Marina trip, you will also see the Palm Jumeirah, which has majestic hotels, including the Atlantis. The Dhow cruise Deira is all about a sail through Dubai’s rich heritage, souks, forts, and past the Abras. It is about seamlessly enjoying how beautifully Dubai has integrated its past with the present and future.
Dhow Cruise Marina
There are a few things in Dubai’s tourism landscape that are as popular as the Dhow cruise in the Marina Canal. The canal, completed in 2016, is a testament to a man’s vision and capabilities. This 3.2-kilometer canal was built to create a waterfront district. It is home to some of the best hotels, apartment buildings, and shopping centers. Sailing through these manmade wonders, you experience creativity, style, and opulence.
Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek
If heritage, history, and souks interest you, head to Dhow Cruise Deira. Sailing on Dubai’s oldest natural waterway, Dubai Creek, you would see all this bathed in glorious lighting. Dubai Creek has two banks on either side, Bur Dubai and Deira Dubai. Deira’s side is full of souks and banks, and it was the trading hub of Dubai. In contrast, Bur Dubai has a lot of cultural and heritage buildings, including Sheikh Saeed’s fort at Shandaga, which now houses art, culture, heritage, and Arabic food kiosks. You will pass by all these sights when you opt for Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek.
