Description

Dubai Creek is an integral part of the city's history. It divides the city into two sections, Bur Dubai and Deira. Both the sides of the Dubai Creek boasts of some of the best exquisite buildings of the city. Therefore, a trip to the Creek is a must. However, rather than walking on the coast, go on a dhow cruise to turn your sightseeing into a unique experience. The dhow is a traditional Bedouin boat that was used for trade and transportation. Today, these dhows have been converted into restaurants that have a lower (air-conditioned) and upper (open-air) decks. You are offered a welcome drink on arrival and are also served delicious barbecued dishes once the dhow sets on sail. While you enjoy your drink and starters, you can take a look at the prestigious buildings and structures of Dubai, glittering in the night lights. You can also enjoy a delicious buffet spread with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Not happy

We booked 2 tours with Rayna, the first one one was a city tour and the driver was 20 minutes which wasn't bad but then everyone kept getting threatened they'd be left behind and have to taxi it to the next venue if they were late back to the bus, most people were back and there was only 1 incident where one lady was abit late but the threats left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, then the DHOW dinner cruise we also booked was cancelled understandably because of weather but they weren't very good in rebooking it and then when they finally did after we chased them abit, they waited at the wrong entrance to pick us at up (where the first time and with every other tour we booked picked us up at the main entrance). We called their office and their driver and even popped over the other entrance but there was noone there with the Raya tour shirt like they had on the first tour on. We waited for 1 hour and yes had messaged the number of the driver they gave us who took quite a while to repond and then he gave us another number of a drive which said he waited for 20 minutes then left. In the hour we made numerous phone calls to the company and texts so we were very unhappy we were marked as a no show and missed the cruise with no refund and then had to find dinner at a late hour elsewhere.

Worth every dirham paid. Book for the down area if you're travelling during winter because it's very cold upstairs.

Fun and worth it. we had a good time with other nationalities. The food was good and the DJ was patient enough to allow every country's music to be played

Dubai Gateway with Rayna.

We booked our Dubai activities tour with Sakshi from Ranya Tours, Bangalore office. She planned all our 7 days meticulously. From the beaches to dow cruise, trips to various observation desks, all were nicely managed. The good thing about her is that, she responded very quickly for all our queries. she provided the good costings for all our activities. I would say Sakshi is good travel advisor. All the best to you n thanks for everything.

Great experience! 😁🥂✨🚢

I had such a fantastic experience from start to finish, thanks to Rutuja, who was incredibly helpful and friendly. She made the booking process so easy, even booking it for me on the same day! Her service really set the tone for a great experience. The cruise itself was amazing! The food was delicious, with a variety of options to choose from, and I loved the Bollywood music and art performances—they really added to the lively atmosphere. The views from the cruise were absolutely stunning, making it an unforgettable evening. Highly recommend this cruise, and a special shoutout to Rutuja for making everything so smooth and enjoyable! 😁🚢✨

Average diner cruise

Staff was kind and helpful. Show was entertaining but food had hair in it. There were also few food choices. Additionally, there wasn’t many sights to see during the cruise.
