Type of destination: Marine Attraction
A Dhow Cruise in Dubai offers a unique vantage point to absorb the dazzling skyline of this cosmopolitan city. Traditionally, dhows are wooden sailing vessels that were historically used by merchants for transportation across the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Today, these crafts have been refurbished into floating restaurants that offer entertainment such as live music and traditional dance performances along with dinner. Visitors enjoy a leisurely sail along Dubai Creek or the Marina, witnessing iconic structures like the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, and the illuminated skyscrapers reflecting over the water. The ambience on a Dhow Cruise is set by the rhythm of the waves and the soft breeze, creating a magical experience, especially at night when the city lights shimmer. Cruises typically also offer a glimpse of old Dubai, with sights like the Gold and Spice Souks, which add a touch of the Emirate's rich trading history. For travelers, a Dhow Cruise is a delightful way to see Dubai's blend of modernity and tradition.

Great experience in the Evening Breeze
It was just too chilled due to the powerful breeze. Sweaters or Jackets are must if you dont want to catch cold. Great views of the Marina, its buildings, shops and people. A must show.
