Itinerary
Begin your unforgettable Dubai Marina dhow dinner cruise with a warm meet and greet by our professional crew. Guests who book the hotel pickup and drop-off option will be collected from their Dubai hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and brought directly to Dubai Harbour, the starting point of this scenic evening experience. Upon arrival, our team will assist you with a smooth boarding process, share a short safety briefing, and guide you to your reserved seat on the traditional wooden dhow.
Step aboard a beautifully decorated traditional wooden dhow cruise for a 2-hour luxury dining experience along the glittering Dubai Marina Canal. Choose between the open-air upper deck for panoramic skyline views or the air-conditioned lower deck for cool comfort. Enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and relax as the dhow sets sail. Delight in a lavish international buffet dinner featuring Middle Eastern and continental dishes, unlimited water and soft drinks, and indulge in live entertainment with a Tanoura dance show and background music—all while gliding across Dubai’s illuminated waterfront.
As the cruise enters the heart of Dubai Marina, take in breathtaking views of iconic landmarks like Cayan Tower (Twisted Tower), Pier 7, Marina Walk, and the vibrant Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). Capture Instagram-worthy photos of the shimmering skyscrapers and luxury yachts, making this one of the most romantic and relaxing dinner cruises in Dubai.
Sail toward Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel, located on Bluewaters Island. The illuminated Dubai Eye provides a stunning backdrop for memorable photos as you enjoy your dinner and soak up the glittering skyline of JBR Beach and the Arabian Gulf.
Cruise past the ultra-modern Bluewaters Island, famous for its upscale dining, luxury resorts, and vibrant nightlife. From the dhow’s deck, admire the island’s striking architecture and dazzling lights, a perfect reflection of modern Dubai’s waterfront lifestyle.
As the evening concludes, the dhow gently sails back to Dubai Harbour, completing your unforgettable dinner cruise in Dubai Marina. Guests who selected the round-trip hotel transfer option will be escorted back to their hotel in comfort, while others can disembark and explore the lively Dubai Marina Promenade at leisure.

About Dubai
Dubai rises from desert and Gulf shore as a city of soaring towers, vast malls and beaches, with older trading quarters strung along its creek.
The Burj Khalifa, built to be the tallest building in the world, soars above Downtown, where the Dubai Fountain dances on a lake at its feet and the Dubai Mall spreads out beside it. Along the coast, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the palm-shaped island of Palm Jumeirah and the towers of Dubai Marina define a skyline raised within living memory.
