About This Tour

Step Aboard a Lit-Up Wooden Caravan and Sail Through the Historic Heart of Dubai

While the city is famous for its ultra-modern skyscrapers, the true soul of Dubai lives along the gentle waters of the historic Dubai Creek. The Dubai Creek Dinner Cruise invites you to experience the rich trading history, vintage architecture, and romantic night-time charm of the old city from the perfect vantage point. Step aboard a beautifully restored, double-decker Arabian Dhow—a traditional wooden sailing vessel wrapped in thousands of warm, glowing lights—and glide down the saltwater creek just as merchants have done for centuries.

As the traditional vessel charts its smooth course, you will cruise past the contrast of Old and New Dubai. Gaze out at the illuminated historic wind-towers of Bastakiya, the glowing souk districts, and the vintage dhows docked along the banks, set against the distant, glittering backdrop of the modern Deira and Bur Dubai skylines. Your enchanting evening on the water is paired with a lavish, 3-star international buffet dinner prepared by premium chefs, offering a rich variety of hot Arabic mezze, grilled meats, fresh salads, and decadent desserts. Complete with live cultural entertainment, traditional music, and refreshing sea breezes, this evening cruise provides a deeply relaxing, memorable dining escape perfect for families, couples, and groups.
