Dhow cruise and dinner
A dhow sets out from the old Creek or from the Marina and serves dinner on the water. Cruises & Yachts offers several versions: in the Marina or in the Creek, and in some of them a choice between the lower and the upper deck. It is a convenient way to get to know Dubai in the evening without much planning.
Sunset on an abra
A sunset cruise on an abra on the Dubai Water Canal is an hour on a traditional wooden boat, with a recorded explanation, Emirati tea with snacks and a transfer. The boat is small, for about 20 passengers, so the atmosphere is quieter than on a large cruise.
Speedboat and super yacht
A 90-minute speedboat tour, Love Boats, departs from Dubai Marina to Palm Jumeirah and passes Atlantis, JBR, Ain Dubai and Burj Al Arab. Life jackets and a bottle of water are included. For those looking for something more indulgent there is a VIP dinner on a Sunseeker super yacht, three hours with live sushi, a DJ and a live saxophone facing the skyline.
Private yacht
If you are a group, a private cruise lets you set the pace. Cruises & Yachts has a private yacht by the hour, including one with a view of Burj Al Arab and a rental from Dubai Harbour for groups of up to 12 guests.
