I booked this cruise just to spend a different evening, but given the price I did not expect anything exceptional. 14 € in low season, 12.50 € with discounts after other bookings. As soon as we depart, dinner is served buffet style, in small groups so there is no confusion and everyone can help themselves at their leisure. Quite varied and surprisingly good dishes. After several encores of dishes and desserts, a show begins at the end of the evening that entertains until we return. All well organized. Recommended. Only flaw, the location provided on Maps, is incorrect. Better to get to the piers a little earlier and ask.

It was a fantastic evening out with the family, and everyone enjoyed themselves. The crew were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this Dhow Cruise for a fun and memorable evening. 👍

A wonderful experience with the Desert Safari with Like Tourism in Dubai. Our guide Mr.Ranjith, was really friendly and amazing with his driving skills. We were a group of 6 people, everybody enjoyed the thrilling rides in a comfortable Land Cruiser through the Red Dunes, Quad bikes, and the mind-blowing events - including the fire show, belly dance, and Tanura at the camp. All the credits go to the Headout app. We got the tickets at the best price. It was easy to book the package, and I would say it's a must-try for everyone who visits and wants to explore Dubai. I would also like to point out some drawbacks of the trip: 1. The staff at Quad Bike (Sahara Adventures) was not at all friendly. He was in a hurry, and we felt very uncomfortable with him. Could not take enough pictures from the Dunes, which was disappointing. 2. The dinner at the Atlanta Camp was cold and not worth it. We would not recommend. None of us liked it.

I had an amazing experience on the Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise! The atmosphere was magical with beautiful views of the city lights reflecting on the water. The dinner was delicious with a great variety of dishes, and the highlight of the night was definitely the Tanura dance performance—it was mesmerizing and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for a memorable evening in Dubai!

I showed my booking upon arrival and they admitted me, later they kept asking me for ticket details till in middle of cruise the supervisor told me i had issues with my tickets and i have to pay extra for aduls as they claim they received tickets for 1 adult and 3 kids only. I showed them the booking and app details. Later they asked me to tall over the phone with management and a lady which was so aggressive was telling me i have issue in my tickets and have to pay. I kept explaining the promotion offer for 1 adults + 1 kids go free and i have three of those tickets. She keep denying this. Then i told them if i have issue with tickets you should not admit me first and second if u have any issues contact Headout coz it was so clear to me what i bought. This make me get argument and anger during the cruise which make it so bad for me!

Ticketing for this activity equires you download the app which is a little wonky but works allright. The Excursion aboard the Captain Jack Sparrow dinner cruise is a memoral experience. The process begins about 10 minutes befor the scheduled time. All guests are verified and queued and seaparated from the many other dinner cruise guests. about 19:45 guests are taken aboard and seated in preparation for departure and diner. Guests are greated with a glass of mango juice and a bottle of water prior to pulling out of the slip. Dinner is served once underway. The meal is a mix of salads and entrés and is served buffet style. Upon completion of dinner which is eaten as the boat navigates the Dubai Harbor which means if you concentrate on eating, you miss some amaxing views of the shops and high rise buildins surrounding the main road leading intot he harbor area. The boat eventually winds its way around to Motion Park and the giant Ferris wheel where the boat adjust her motors to hold position in front of the park. At this time a dancer sets up on the middle of the upper deck and perfroms a traditional Egyptian dance and engages the audience to join in on the fun. Time is given for guests to dance on the upper deck to a mix of pop music before returning to her slip and disembarking passengers at approximately 22:00 I would recommend this cruise to the budget conscious traveler, family, or group on a budget but wanting a very nice evening on the harbor.

First of all no contact details wefe there to understand the exact location for boarding the cruise. We were in hurry when reaching fo the given address but after reaching the place as suggested in the ticket there was no cruise, also we checked for the booking office or any official counter there but it was not present. In that case we searched fkr the cruise there but we couldn't find the same and also we enquired the other cruise staff persons for the same but no body was having any idea for the said cruise as mentioned on tbe ticket. We have not received any official call or message prior to the starting time also which resulted we did not get the cruise and our tickets were not used. Thus, we easted our money and time both. Now we request you to kindly refund our tickets amount. Next tims when we come to dubai we will book again. Thanks

From start to finish, this experience was top class. Great food, talented saxophonist and the service was just perfect. The dhow boat jorney, seeing all the sights from the river gave a new dimension to Dubai. I would highly recommend. The glass of wine was a treat. Thankyou for making christmas day a special day for us.

Nothing like before. After paying a huge amount of AED 240 person they made us a sit in corner of the cruise with less view of outside. Not allowed to go to the deck to experience the views.

Dubai Dhow Cruise Locations
Dubai Marina
The Dubai Marina is one of the most beautiful locations in the City of Gold. When on a Marina cruise in Dubai, prepare to feast your eyes on the eye-catching, towering skyscrapers around you, while you are serenaded by the bright blue ocean. Keep an eye out for architectural marvels like the Palm Islands, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Marina residences, JBR, the Atlantis Hotel and more.
Dubai Creek
Explore the olden, charming parts of the city on a Dubai Creek cruise. The ambiance of still waters and traditional music is the perfect backdrop as you take in sights on the quieter side of the city. You’ll get the chance to observe landmarks like Heritage Village, National Bank of Dubai, Sheikh Saeed’s House and Chamber of Commerce & Industry Building among others.
Dubai Water Canal
Cruise along the Dubai Water Canal and take in the glittering landmarks in the city. While on a Canal cruise in Dubai, either on anAbraor a luxury cruise, you’ll sail along the Water Canal and get the opportunity to spot sites like Festival City, Business Bay, Burj Khalifa, Ras Al Khor Sanctuary along with an impressive view of the city’s spectacular skyline.
All Your Dubai Dhow Cruise Options
There are a variety of factors to keep in mind before selecting which Dubai dhow cruise to go for. You can make your choice based on which location you would like to board from, what landmarks you would like to see, whether you’re looking for a dining experience, or are looking to club your cruise with other activities like a desert safari. Here are all the factors to keep in mind when decided what cruise to go for.
Creek vs Marina vs Canal
The most important thing to remember before making your reservation is the location of your dhow cruise. The top options in the city are the Dubai Creek, Dubai Marina and the Dubai Canal.
If you’re looking to observe the city’s historic past and observe classic buildings like Heritage Village and old souks, you should look to book a dhow cruise on Dubai Creek.
If you would like to soak in the city’s towering, architecturally-significant skyline, then you can opt for a Dubai Marina dhow cruise. If you book a Canal cruise in Dubai, you can either ride on the traditional Abra or go for a luxury cruise on the Water Canal.
Sightseeing vs Dinner
The next thing to consider before booking your dhow cruise is to opt for a cruise that exclusively offers sightseeing or dinner. If you book a standard sightseeing cruise along the Creek, Marina or Canal, you can soak in landmarks around you like the Atlantis Hotel at the Dubai Marina. However, if you’re looking to make your ride a memorable experience, opt for a dinner cruise in Dubai at the Creek or Marina. The highlight of your wholesome journey will include an exclusive continental buffet, along with live entertainment options. Your standard sightseeing cruise does not include dinner; however, all dinner experiences allow you to engage in sightseeing.
Ferry vs Yacht vs Boat
Apart from dhow cruises along the Dubai Marina, Dubai Creek and Dubai Water Canal, guests also have the option to opt for rides on ferries, yachts and other boats.
If you opt for a ferry, a smaller water vehicle, you can enjoy a 1-hour long ride inside air-conditioned decks along the Dubai Marina and take in interesting sights like Palm Island, Burj Al Arab and JBR Beach. For an ultra-luxurious experience, book a Dubai yacht tour. Onboard a lavish yacht tour, guests can avail services like a continent buffet meal, the onboard swimming pool and multiple entertainment decks, all while enjoying a fantastic view of sights like the Palm.
Combo Tours
If you’re in Dubai for a short while and are looking for a quick way to cover all major attractions, your best bet would be to opt for a combo tour.
Usually covered over a span of two days, you can choose your combo ticket based on what attractions you would like to cover. Your combo tour not only includes a dhow cruise on Dubai Creek, but also includes experiences like a visit to landmarks like the Burj Khalifa, a desert safari in Dubai, or a tour of the city’s most historic and popular attractions. With these tours, you can cover all the essential tourist points in the city.
Choose the Right Dubai Dhow Cruise
Sightseeing
There’s plenty to see while on a Dubai dhow Cruise. You should select your cruise depending on which part of the city you would like to explore. Dubai cruises cover landmarks across the Dubai Creek, Dubai Marina, and Dubai Water Canal. While a cruise on the Creek covers several parts of old Dubai like the old souks, a cruise along the Marina lets you observe the new-age, architecturally-significant landmarks of the city, like the Burj Khalifa, JBR, Atlantis Hotel, and more.
Meals
When surrounded by the blue sea and towering glass buildings, the perfect thing to complement your view is a delicious meal. If you opt for a dinner cruise in Dubai, your experience would include welcome refreshments with some dates, a lavish continental buffet with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, unlimited mineral water and soft drinks, and depending on your package, live cooking stations as well.
Keep in mind, not all cruises include meals; you would have to book one that specifically includes lunch/dinner.
Entertainment
If you opt for a dinner cruise in Dubai, not only do you get a delicious multi-course buffet meal, but also get live entertainment as part of the package. During your cruise along the Creek or Marina, while you gaze at the remarkable sights around, you will be serenaded with live music. The vocalist would perform some peppy tunes to keep the audience entertained. Guests would also be treated to experiences like a puppet show or Tanoura dance performance, depending on the package they opt for.

I booked this cruise just to spend a different evening, but given the price I did not expect anything exceptional. 14 € in low season, 12.50 € with discounts after other bookings. As soon as we depart, dinner is served buffet style, in small groups so there is no confusion and everyone can help themselves at their leisure. Quite varied and surprisingly good dishes. After several encores of dishes and desserts, a show begins at the end of the evening that entertains until we return. All well organized. Recommended. Only flaw, the location provided on Maps, is incorrect. Better to get to the piers a little earlier and ask.

A wonderful experience with the Desert Safari with Like Tourism in Dubai. Our guide Mr.Ranjith, was really friendly and amazing with his driving skills. We were a group of 6 people, everybody enjoyed the thrilling rides in a comfortable Land Cruiser through the Red Dunes, Quad bikes, and the mind-blowing events - including the fire show, belly dance, and Tanura at the camp. All the credits go to the Headout app. We got the tickets at the best price. It was easy to book the package, and I would say it's a must-try for everyone who visits and wants to explore Dubai.
I would also like to point out some drawbacks of the trip:
1. The staff at Quad Bike (Sahara Adventures) was not at all friendly. He was in a hurry, and we felt very uncomfortable with him. Could not take enough pictures from the Dunes, which was disappointing.
2. The dinner at the Atlanta Camp was cold and not worth it. We would not recommend. None of us liked it.

Great experience, good service by the yacht staff, unlimited alcohol of various types.
Cons- 1. There is only Live BBQ as food service and it was always served cold even though it was prepared 'Live'.
2. The yacht staff did not care about cleaning and maintaining hygiene of the toilets during the 4-hour yacht trip.

The trip guys take care of everything, visa, travel, food, it almost seems too good to be true, especially after you see the prices also! But it is a wonderful deal and the destination is worth the visit.

From looking out the window to see skyscrapers to relaxing with a drink on a cruise watching the mountains pass, it was the change I needed! Everyone at office was raving about this and I was one of the last ones to get on the wagon, but I am glad I did.
