Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek

Details

Deira Creek is one of Dubai’s oldest and most well-known tourist attractions. Dubai Creek is an inlet of the Persian Gulf that creates a very important waterway, making Dubai an important trading hub in the Middle East. Since the early 20th century, the creek has been dredged frequently to increase its depth so that big boats can reach the mainland directly. The creek also ensured a thriving trading and hospitality sector that was rapidly growing and supporting the fast-depleting oil reserves of the emirate. Thanks to the vision, the creek soon became the center stage of the unique dhow cruise. The Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek is for anyone who enjoys a boat trip. The wooden boat, called “Dhow” in Arabic, is a significant part of Emirati culture and history, and its inclusion in the cruise experience provides a unique cultural perspective. The cruise itself is a leisurely journey, passing through some landmark buildings, shopping arcades, forts, cultural centers, and the newly developed Infinity Bridge.

The menu aboard the Dhow cruise is fit for a king.

The last course is a treat for your sweet tooth, consisting of Indian and Arabic sweets and delicious fresh fruits of the season. The menu’s quality and variety will excite your taste buds and make you eager to try the dishes.

The Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek Experience

The Dhow cruise on Dubai Creek starts at the newly developed Al Seef area. The first thing that strikes you is how beautiful this area is. Thanks to the recent investment in this area, which has added shopping and cultural centers and emphasized the hospitality sector, it has become Dubai’s new “it” place.

Welcoming you to our majestic Dhow. To book your Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek experience, visit our website and follow the simple booking process. We also offer special discounts for group bookings and early reservations, so don’t miss out on these great deals.

Once you reach the berthing area, you will come across a majestic and decorated Dhow with our staff awaiting you and getting you on board. You would be greeted and informed about the seat number. A few steps up, you would be at the doorstep of the dhow, where a smiling staff member would welcome you with a refreshing juice. As our dhow is named, Al Wasl Dhow is one of the best and newest Dhows sailing on Dubai Creek. It is beautifully furnished with wooden interiors, cushioned chairs, and well-laid tables. The Dhow is divided into two decks: the lower deck is your landing area, which is fully airconditioned, and the upper one is airy but fully open to the sky above. The comfort and luxury of the Dhow will make you feel pampered and relaxed throughout the cruise.

Historical landmarks

Although AL Seef is one of the latest developments in Dubai, the cruise on the Dubai Creek is all about a visual journey through the culture and heritage of Dubai as well as the souks on the other side. You would also come across another landmark of Dubai, i.e., the Infinity Bridge. This iconic bridge is constructed over the creek to reduce the traffic on the Al Shandaga tunnel. The bridge is imposing and well-lit. The old living quarter of Sheikh Saeed, the grandfather of the current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed, has now been developed into art, culture, and F&B outlets. You would also get to see the huge palace of one of the princesses during your sail. However, the best part of the cruise is the old-world charm of Deira Dubai on one side and Bur Dubai on the other, as well as the vast expanse of the Persian Gulf ahead of you. It is selfie time every moment!

The Three-Course Buffet

An experience of Dhow Cruise Deira is incomplete without the 3-course dinner buffet-style with our famous hospitality. Be it different salads as the starters or an abundant spread of Indian, Arabic, and Continental cuisines, our chefs bring the best items to make your cruise memorable. Our helpful servers will help you plate your food, too. On your table, we would constantly top up your favorite fizzy drink (non-alcoholic). To satisfy your craving for sweets, you offer our third dinner course, i.e., Indian and Arabic sweets like “Gulab Jamun” and “Shahi Tukda” with cut fruits of the season. There is also post-dinner tea and coffee to help you be energetic.

The entertainment on Dhow Cruise

Our in-house DJ will get into the groove with the choicest music during the cruise. The music will keep you entertained and enthused. We bring out our Tanura dancer while you are at the end of your 3-course dinner. A male artist performs this dance, doing all his movements while rotating. Under the dimmed light conditions, he would light up the boat with his colored lights. While the dance looks simple, it is challenging when he invites you over for one move with him. Your eyes would feel dizzy, and you would almost fall on the floor. The Tanura dance is our best cruise entertainment experience; it will stay on your phone and mind for a long time.
