Description

A Dhow Cruise Dinner in Dubai Marina is a great way to spend an evening and enjoy views of the ultra modern Dubai Marina area & canal from on-board a traditional Arabic wooden dhow. The cruise starts at our Berthing Location in West Bay, Dubai Marina Yacht Club, continues through the entire Dubai Marina canal and out into the shore line of Jumeirah Beach residence (subject to weather conditions). The boat itself features a bar, a live female singer onboard, a male tanura dancer and a full course buffet dinner.

Good cruise but can be elevated with minor changes

The cruise was nice. The weather was lovely and the ambiance in general,was wonderful. The boat moved at a good pace and the music was good. Food was also decent, better than I expected as part of a cruise dinner. The only things to improve would be the service. The waiters seemed always be in a hurry and didnt stop to check in with us. When we flagged one down to order a drink from the QR scan code they provided, he told us they didnt have some alcohol spirits on that boat and we had to wait for it bought over from another ship. That was not professional. Such things should be checked after each service. Also, a welcome and closing announcement should be done so people know we are starting and coming to a close. There was no announcement either about the buffet. People just randomly formed a line and started getting food. Dessert was not refilled, so we didnt get a chance to try any of those choices.

A nice scam

No access is very poorly explained the meal is a low-end buffet no alcoholic beverages except beer Sodas are coca and local Fanta A nice scam!

Operator response

Dear Jean, Sorry that you feel this way. 1. We have a lot more drinks than beer, everything which is on our website menu is available at the bar. 2. We physically cannot explain better how to reach the boat. Our instruction guide has photos and arrows not to mention the exact pin is on google maps. 3. Ofcourse the coca cola and fanta will be local. There is no alternative. Best Timur

An evening river cruise In Dubai is a must!

We went on this dinner cruise on our first night In Dubai. It was a wonderful orientation to the city and we sailed all along the water with the dazzling city lights. The dinner was a buffet and was good. There was a little entertainment which lasted about 15 minutes and that was fun to watch. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you and hope to see you again!

Cruisin' together...

This was a memorable experience for us, especially our kids. The buffet dinner was delicious. The tanoura dancer was spectacular but the entertainment was lacking. There shld have been a group dancing to make the cruise more lively.
