Dinner on the water in Dubai Marina
A dhow is the traditional wooden boat of the Gulf, and an evening dhow cruise is one of the most relaxing ways to see Dubai Marina. For two hours you glide past the glowing towers of the Marina and JBR while dinner is served on board.
The price covers a welcome drink, an international buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, unlimited soft drinks, water, tea and coffee, and a live Tanoura dance show. There is no hotel pickup — you meet us at the Dubai Marina boarding point, which keeps the price at AED 100 per person.
