Dubai Dhow Dinner Cruise -Fall In Love Again

The Dubai Dhow Dinner Cruise is another must for all tourists visiting Dubai. The Dhow is the traditional boat made out of wood. In the olden days Arabs who were mostly fishermen and pearl divers used to build strong wooden boats for their business. The tourism industry in Dubai has now made a tourist attraction out of the dhows and offers a regular tour every evening called the Dhow Dinner Cruise. The traditional boat is beautifully decorated and takes you through the Dubai Creek.

You have the option of being picked up at your hotel or house or showing up at the site of the cruise. Most Dhow cruises start from the Deira side of Dubai although there are some that start their journey from the Bur Dubai side of the Dubai Creek. We were picked from our hotel by our travel agent. There were many Indian families on the cruise that day, some newly married on their honeymoon, some with children and one old couple from South India. As the cruise sails along the Dubai creek you can see the major Dubai landmarks. During the cruise you can enjoy the spectacular modern architecture and the fascinating old city. You will see the past and present architecture of the area which is brought to its full beauty during this time, including the National Bank of Dubai, Dubai Chamber of Commerce, Sheikh Saeed’s Al Maktoum House house, which is now a national monument and the Heritage Village. We were spellbound by the beauty of Dubai as the dhow sailed silently across the Dubai creek under the moonlight sky.This unforgettable romantic evening cruise includes a buffet dinner with a variety of dishes either continental or oriental cuisine and vegetarian and non-vegetarian, along with mineral water, juices, soft drinks and traditional coffee. Alcohol is also available against extra payment. Luckily we had our seats at the deck but even if you don’t have your seats there, you may come and enjoy the fresh air and see Dubai’s lights and sights as the cruise sails along the Dubai Creek.

With an elegant and unique setting, best food and exceptional service, with music at the background and dinning through glittering lights and colours reflected on the water, it sure will be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences you will ever have. This memorable and romantic trip lasts nearly 2.30hours. It starts at 8.30pm but you need to be at least 10-15 minutes ahead of time.

Be it newly married couples or couples who have been married for years ,this trip has the perfect setting to fall in love again. The ride creates such a romantic atmosphere that you will wish, it goes on and on, so that you can spend more time with your loved one.
