THE UAE · DHOW CRUISES
A wooden dhow on the Creek is the cheap, old-Dubai version; the Marina boats are newer, glassier and dearer. The 15 below split them by water, dinner and whether the sailing is two hours or the whole evening.
See Dubai’s top sights by open-top bus, then add a dhow cruise, aquarium, Dubai Frame, or desert sunset tour.

“Honestly, cannot complain. Immense value for money, I was worried the cheap rate we paid it wouldn’t be that great, however it was fun, enjoyable, comfortable and the buffet food was delicious especially the butter chicken!!! I have to say above all, the customer service was great, like an idiot I booked on the wrong day and turned up thinking my booking was that day, the guys kindly agreed to let me switch my days which saved my blushes and also my weeks planning for my stay at Dubai. Thank you so much for this. Honestly, do not be afraid of the cheap price, it was a very nice evening…”
