The Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise Experience

As you sail along through the tranquil waters, watch the amazing skyline of Dubai lined by private residences, resorts, and large shopping malls. Feast on mouthwatering international cuisine served in the most classy and luxurious of settings one can ever imagine. It’s just the perfect balance between sophistication and traditional Arab hospitality. To make the evening truly special, there are live performances lined up for you that keep you thoroughly entertained. A part of the show is the stunning illumination, which is reflected on the water to create a dazzling effect.

When you receive complimentary drinks and delectable cuisine, and are entertained with vibrant shows, you realise why the Dhow Cruise Dinner is such a coveted holiday experience. Add to that the lovely sights of the amazing Dubai skyline, and it’s an experience you’ll cherish for the rest of your life. It is a relaxing getaway where we take you aboard a dhow, a traditional boat that has been a part of the Arabian way of life since ancient times. You can opt for a more traditional experience, cruising in a dhow boat at Dubai Creek. It’s a truly unique dining experience as you set out on a relaxing sailing through the classy Dhow Cruise Dubai.
