About this experience

Dubai Creek is the inlet the city grew around, and the dhow cruise along it is the older and quieter of the two evening cruises. The route runs past the heritage districts, the souks and the Deira waterfront rather than high-rise towers.

The dinner cruise runs around two hours with a buffet and a live entertainment set. A boat-only ticket is available for the cruise without the dinner package. It is noticeably cheaper than the Marina cruise and suits travellers more interested in old Dubai than the skyline.
