About this experience

The dhow is a traditional Bedouin boat that was used for trade and transportation. Today, these dhows have been converted into restaurants that have lower (air-conditioned) and upper (open-air) decks. You are offered a welcome drink on arrival and are also served delicious barbecued dishes once the dhow sets on the sail. While you enjoy your drink and starters, you can take a look at the prestigious buildings and structures of Dubai, glittering in the night lights. You can also enjoy a delicious buffet spread with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Dhow cruises also have entertainment options which include live music performances, Tanura dancing, etc. If this unique way of cruising impresses you, make a reservation on our exclusive dhow cruise for dinner.

Misleading Time Schedule

When booking, starting time was 7 pm with a duration of 90 minutes. But after confirmation starting time was delayed to 8:30 pm. We had no chance to take part, because of our departure on that evening. It was very annoying to "get" the entry ticket. With the purchase of the tour you are told to present the voucher at an office in the city to get the entry tickets. When you are there, you are told, that it isnt necessary to present the voucher. This whole thing isnt planned professionally by the provider.

Response from the operator: Dear Dennis, We are sorry for your misunderstanding, if you read correctly that we pick up guests (if sharing transfers selected) 1 hr to 1.5 hrs before the cruising time and hence the pick up time is mentioned as 7 PM.

Dubai by Dhow

Gorgeous view of the city skyline. Food was excellent as was the dancer. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was I would have liked a little bit of commentary just inform as to where we were and some of the landmarks we were passing.

A Down cruise on Dubai Creek

The pick - up arrangement was good. Very well communicated and update from driver. The cruise like most mentioned was great and sailing along the creek was mesmerising and rare site especially at night with lighted boats, buildings and surroundings. My only feedback will be good if the organiser provides some updates on what to expect, crowd control, label the food/menu, etc. Maybe its me but good to have a much friendlier or approachable staff to make the cruise more pleasant & unique.

Response from the operator: Well noted feedback and we will take into consideration your comments. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to your support always whenever you are in Dubai next.

Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

How much does Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers cost?

+

Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers take?

+

Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.

Is Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise With or Without Transfers start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Dubai?

+

On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Dubai?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Dubai?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
