Dhow Cruise Dubai

Dressing up for any occasion is one of the most common challenges faced by a lot of people. Do you dress up fancy or do you dress up casual? This is a question which is out there for a lot of first-time visitors. Here is a proper guide for everybody:

Women

Women can wear anything, as long as it is modest and according for the occasion. Flowy Maxi dresses, skirts with tops, or even smart casual pants and blouses will do the job. And if you are feeling a little bit in a party mood, then you can also wear a cocktail dress. However, make sure that it is not revealing.

Men

On a Dhow Cruise, men should go for smart casual attire. Make sure that you are comfortable, and show that you are relaxed yet elegant. You can also consider a collared shirt with chinos or linen trousers, paired with boat shoes and loafers.

• Valid ID: Carry a government-authorised photo ID to the Dhow Cruise Dubai. The traveller can carry a valid passport, and residents can bring their Emirates ID to the dinner cruise Dubai. 
• Camera: You would not want to miss out on the glamorous Dubai and the unforgettable moments you make there. So, make sure you carry the camera to capture all the memories of an amazing evening.
• Medicine for seasickness: The cruise will sail for around 4-5 hours, and if you suffer from the symptoms of seasickness, then carry the prescribed medicines with you. 
• Light Covers: The evenings in Dubai can be colder, so carry a light cover or a thin jacket with you. This will keep you comfortable on the open deck with unobstructed wind.
• Card/Cash: Keep some change with you in case you desire to tip the staff for their service. Moreover, a card or cash will also be helpful in case of any urgency.
• Powerbank: Carry a backup with you, as you would not want to run out of charge in the middle of such an eventful night. Keep the charger or the powerbank with you on the dinner cruise Dubai.
• Small Backpack: Keep all these necessities within reach in a small backpack. You will get these things hassle-free.

• Wear Uncomfortable Footwear: Even though the Dhow Cruise Dubai has comfortable seating, you might not want to miss out on fun. Hence, wear comfortable footwear, preferably flats that will allow you to enjoy the live music and walk around.  
• Arrive Late: The cruise works on a shared basis, and the schedule is fixed. So, if you arrive late at the venue, there will be chaos and discomfort for fellow guests. Hence, leave for the venue early and expect the traffic on the way. Choose the transfers with us and reach the dock on time. 
• Bring Pets: The dinner cruise Dubai is not an experience curated for pets. The facilities are made keeping the comfort of guests in mind. So, bringing pets on the cruise might be risky for both the guests and the pets.  
• Outside Food: The cruise is equipped with all the food and beverages you will need to celebrate. It includes unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee and water at the beverage counter. Moreover, the buffet will have options for vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. Additionally, you can also get the premium alcoholic drink at the open bar.
• Bring Weapons: Any sharp object, glassware or weapons are strictly prohibited on the dinner cruise Dubai. This is to maintain the safety of all the guests and staff on the cruise. You must not carry any of the harmful material that can raise a question about safety.
• Luggage: Do not carry any large bags or luggage to the dhow cruise Dubai. These can create unnecessary hassle and spoil your experience for the evening. Moreover, it will also not be allowed for safety reasons on the cruise.

• Buffet dinner on board: You get an international buffet dinner, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The menu is listed above. 
• Different deck levels: You can choose from 2 different levels: the upper deck and the lower deck. The upper deck is ideal for capturing stunning views of Dubai’s skyline. Moreover, the lower deck is perfect for an air-conditioned and serene dinner experience. 
• Washroom: Separate and clean washroom facilities for men and women.
• WiFi: There is wifi on board, so you don’t have to worry about network issues. 
• Life jackets: There are life jackets available for any emergency cases.
• Multiple seating options: There are various options for your seating on both decks; choose as per your preference.

• The golden hour provides a warm and flattering light for clicking photos. You can balance the natural elements like skies with colour gradients, soft shadows and the reflection on water. Reach the deck early to set up the camera well with low ISO and a wider aperture. 
• Play and capture the transitioning sky with dramatic colours at sunset to blue hour. Get the photos with city lights and long exposures of attractions like Atlantis The Palm, Burj Al Arab and Ain Dubai. 
• Capture the blue hour with negative lighting as well. To get the best shots, use a tripod or a stabilised camera/phone. Keep the shutter speed slow and adjust the white balance.
• Enjoy the vibrant city lights with illuminated landmarks and the ambience of lanterns. Click the photos with onboard lighting and warm ambience. You can bring a tripod to capture the photos. 
• Avoid the over-exposure and use the bracketed exposures or HDR with reduced ISO noise if you are doing night photography.
• Choose the upper deck to click photos and capture the reflections from the calm waters.
• Keep the lens cloth, extra batteries and memory card with you on the dinner cruise.
• Check the weather to prepare yourself for clean silhouettes with clear skies and drama with cloudy ones.
