A “ Dhow ” is a traditional wooden vessel that is common in the  Middle East  and has been used historically for a variety of purposes, primarily for trading.

Dhows are made in a variety of sizes and in the  UAE  have been most used for trade between UAE and Iran aswell as for  pearl diving .

Over the last decade the demand for dhows has gone down and has been replaced by more modern vessels.

Nonetheless, Dhows have played a cruicial role in the history and evolution of the gulf and are iconic as a mode of sea transportation.

In the last couple of decades, a lot of the ‘Dhows’ have been repurposed for tourism purposes, one of them being dhow cruise dinners.

A  Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina  is a nice concept. Read on.

In the 90’s, some entrepreneurs began converting the larger dhows that were traditionally used for trading into refurbished floating restaurants that would operate dinner cruises in the  Dubai Creek .

That segment has grown and over many years has evolved into a rather important and iconic type of tourist attraction in  Dubai .

Starting with only handful of Dhows in early 90’s the segment has grown into over 30 dhows in the Creek and 8 in Dubai Marina.

One the elements of the Dhow Cruise ‘culture’ has been to have live entertainment onboard in a variety of forms.

Originally, belly dancing was most common, but with time, Dubai Government has been eliminating this form of entertainment and has now been almost entirely replaced by ‘Tanura’ – a traditionally Turksih dance that is usually performed by a male dancer that is spinning in a flowing and elaborately decorated dress, creating a very interesting sight.

The dinner cruise in Dubai Marina as a concept began in 2010 with some operators bringing the dhow boats to Dubai Marina and operating floating restaurants. The Dhow Cruise Marina attraction began gaining momentum and popularity and currently is a household product among inbound tour operators in Dubai.

Today, the dinner cruise in Dubai Marina is considered to be a much more upscale option that any other area in Dubai.

DINNER ONBOARD A  DHOW CRUISE IN DUBAI MARINA

As always, with the opening of Dubai Marina as a new area and tourist destination, there was room for starting new  business  ventures.

Alexandra was one of the first boats that began its operations as far back as 2009.

Now there are around 7 boats that operate in Dubai Marina.

So what is the difference between a Dhow Cruise in Dubai Marina versus a Dhow Cruise in Dubai Creek?

Well, this  article  will give you a very detailed answer, but funadmentally – the main difference is location.

Dubai Creek is the old part of town, and Dubai Marina is a new area in Dubai.

Fundamentally, that is the only difference, and the difference then lies in the actual operators of each boats. There are many good boats in Dubai Creek and some in Dubai Marina.

It must be noted however that Dubai Marina has MUCH less boats 8 versus more than 25 in the Creek.

As a rule of thumb, the quality of operators in Dubai Marina on average is higher, due to the the higher parking fees and the need to compensate by attracting a higher quality clientele.

DINNER CRUISE DUBAI

A dinner cruise generally is a great combination of dinner and cruising, but a cruise dinner in Dubai Marina is a particular excellent fusion

MARINA CRUISE DUBAI

A dinner cruise in Dubai Marina is an excellent way to combine a sightseeing experience with a dining experience.

We try our best onboard Alexandra to make it a pleasant one and entertain you with our live performers and meticilous approach to food.

The traditional wooden dhow that has been used for decades as a primary shipping vessel is a great contrast to the ultra-modern, and almost futuristic views of Dubai Marina, providing a balance between new and old.

It is an optional add on. Example, lets say you are a group of 4, and you want to book the cruise + buffet option and you also want to book a private transfer.  You will pay  4 people x 44$/pp = 176$ +50$/car = 226$ total If you are 4 people and you want to get the sharing transfer, you will pay 4 people x 44$/pp = 176$ + 4 x 10$ = 40$ $216 in total

We have a resident female vocalist who performs all kinds of pop, jazz, soft rock and blues pieces. We also have a resident tanura dancer, who performs a dervish spinning dance called ‘tanura’. We cannot be sure who will be performing on the night you come, but atleast one will be.

The Dhow Cruise

Experience the magical Dubai skyline as you sail through aboard our Dhow Cruise, marveling at the glittering cityscape. Indulge in live entertainment, a delightful dinner, and a myriad of other enchanting experiences.

You can’t escape the constant buzz in Dubai. We tell you, it’s infectious. What you can escape is the crowd while still feeling the pulse of the city. How do you do so? We take you on a wonderful cruise aboard a luxurious traditional Arabian boat, a dhow. As you sail gently through the waters, soak in spectacular views of Dubai’s skyline while staying away from the crowds and the chaos.

Two of the dhow cruises enjoy maximum popularity—the Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise and the Dubai Creek Dhow Cruise. The cruise through the upscale Dubai Marina showcases the modern avatar of Dubai resplendent with majestic tall skyscrapers. Cruising through Dubai Creek brings you up close with old Dubai steeped in tradition and culture.

Are you looking for an exotic venue for your anniversary? We have the perfect one for you. Why not book a dhow and show how much you love your partner? You can book a dhow for an entire day and watch in contentment as your guests enjoy cruising through the gentle waters. Admire the stunning views of Dubai as the dhow sails along merrily. A lavish meal, lunch or dinner is served aboard the dhow to the accompaniment of melodious music depending on when you book the dhow.

Cruising on a dhow also lets you experience Dubai beyond its majestic skyline and throbbing city life. We suggest that you opt for the Musandam Dibba Cruise that takes you to the lap of nature. The scenery is just unforgettable and the Musandam Dibba Cruise also includes swimming, fishing and snorkeling sessions. This cruise also lets you explore the exotic marine life of the region.

You may also choose to go on a tour of Dubai city aboard a dhow. The Dubai City Dhow Cruise sails through Burdubai and Deira Creek showcasing the best of Dubai. Take in stunning views of Dubai’s iconic landmarks like the Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa, the Atlantis Hotel, the Dubai Mall and other marvels of modern architecture.

Your visit to Dubai isn’t really complete until you have explored Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the nation’s seat of power. Capture the beauty of this majestic city as the dhow sails through the waters of the Arabian Sea. As the dhow makes its way gently through the Corniche Creek and Abu Dhabi Marina, you can enjoy stunning views of the city’s iconic buildings like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Emirates Palace.

If you are looking for a relaxing outing, there could be no better option than a cruise aboard a majestic dhow. Explore Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the Musandam Dibba while sailing on a dhow for the experience of a lifetime.
