Overview

See how Dubai’s old-world charm harmoniously coexists with its uber-contemporary side on a Dubai Creek cruise. It invites you to sail aboard a traditional wooden dhow for a leisurely 90-minute journey along the historic waterway that helped shape the city long before its skyscrapers dominated the horizon. As the dhow gently makes its way between Deira and Bur Dubai, feast your senses on a blend of heritage neighborhoods, bustling waterfront sights, and modern structures.

A refreshing welcome drink ensures a perfect start to the Dubai Creek cruise, before you settle into the comfort of the air-conditioned lower deck or head to the partly open upper deck to delight in the region’s unobstructed views. As the cruise sets sail, savor a buffet dinner onboard, featuring a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian international dishes, tempting desserts, and unlimited refreshments.

The dhow cruise Dubai Creek gets livelier with traditional Tanura dancing and live music. But the real highlight of this Dubai Creek dhow cruise is its setting, where old and new Dubai stand side by side along a waterway steeped in the city’s trading and maritime heritage. It’s also a distinctly relaxed way to experience Dubai’s charm and character beyond its futuristic landmarks.
