Dubai: Dhow Cruise Creek, Marina & Fun, Buffet–Drinks Option

After booking via Tripadvisor, we were informed that the booked boat, has a technical defect, and we will most likely be rebooked to a better boat. Unfortunately, it turned out later that this was a big mistake. The driver picked us up from the hotel but did not drop us off directly at the boat, so we still had to walk a long way. Supposedly traffic-related, which I do not believe, because other buses have also pulled up to the departure point. Arrived at the boat, it turned out that it is an Indian shipping company. The ship's crew was nice and tried, but that was it. The guest structure consisted of 98% Indian guests. Accordingly, the atmosphere was. The buffet was the lowest quality. Indians mainly eat their food with their naked hands. The folklore listed was very Indian,as Arabic. And at a deafened volume. If I hadn't looked out of the firmer, you'd think you were on a disco boat in Calcutta. Feel-good atmosphere equals zero. If we had been told in advance that we were coming on an Indian boat, we would have cancelled. I would never book anything like that again. Better to look at the boat on site and book directly.There you know what you get.

Very nice experience! The dinner was excellent and the staff adorable! Very friendly atmosphere! The ride was very pleasant! The view from Dubai at night was superb!

They are running a fraud scheme. At the last minute, they changed us to a low substandard cruise, which I could have gotten at half the price. We paid AED 150 ($40/person) for this cruise, and they moved us to a cruise costing AED 70 ($20/person). We were moved to the lower deck, in spite of the ticket being for the lower and upper decks. Cruising without an open deck doesn't mean anything. Also food and service were pathetic. Quality was also very bad. They had a manager, Rania, who might call 5 times but didn't mention once that the cruise got changed. Another person came who told us we need to board another ship; he was also quite rude. I booked this one due to reviews, but it seems like they don't run it and can change you last minute for any other nearby cruise. My reference number was 1327625799 and we booked it for 20th Oct, 2025.

We had a really great time on this cruise! There was plenty of tasty food and a constant supply of water and soft drinks. The entertainment was funny and lighthearted too! What made it even better was the excellent communication from Rania and especially Fathima on the boat. She went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable evening.

Fantastic Experience. Food was good. Fresh Fruit Juice & refreshing drinks. Entertainment was wonderful . Host was very organized. Highly recommend this experience when in Dubai. Weather in the evening was also nice & cool.

The Tanoura dancer and entertainment by Mahmoud was energetic, fun and kept all the guests happy, cheering and dancing. Very good show! Thank you also to Fatima for her hospitality and knowledge throughout the boat ride explaining the key monuments. Great evening and highly recommended!

It was a wonderful evening. The food was mega delicious and the ride went really long. You have a great view!!

It was a very nice quiet boat trip. Good food and very friendly staff. The show was mega funny . Especially for children .

The boat was old the food was subpar. The entertainment was bad. Don’t waste your money, The food was warm with little flavor

We had a wonderful experience, the crew were very sweet and thoughtful. We felt really welcomed, especially thanks to Fhatima Fhidu, she was really observant, kind and resolutive, beyond her profesional hospitality, a real kind person. I would recommend It to everyone that looks for a chill, intimate experience : )
