Dhow cruises in Dubai offer unique perspectives of both the traditional and modern aspects of this cosmopolitan emirate and make for captivating sightseeing experiences.

What Exactly is a Dhow?

A dhow is a traditional boat that is made from wood along with coconut and palm leaves. It was typically used for fishing, diving and trading goods across the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Today, one of the best things to do in Deira, Dubai is to take a cruise on such vessels, some of which have modern features too.

Cruise Locations

Amongst the most popular places for dhow cruises is the Dubai Creek; such excursions are organised by properties like Avani Deira Dubai Hotel and let you view more traditional areas amidst a lively hustle and bustle. Other cruises are on offer at the Dubai Marina with a backdrop of a modern cityscape with its skyscrapers.

Sightseeing Highlights

A dhow cruise along the Dubai Creek is ideal for sightseeing and takes you past key attractions and landmarks; these include the Grand Mosque, Gold and Spice Souks, Heritage Village and the Saeed Al Maktoum House. On the other hand, Dubai Marina cruises offer views of stunning high-rise buildings, the Marina Mall and the Palm Jumeirah.

Dining & Entertainment

To truly experience Dubai dhow cruises, one can embark on a sunset journey which often entails a delectable dinner served onboard! Depending on the cruise, you can enjoy several courses as you watch the city come to life; sometimes, live entertainment in the form of traditional dancing or singing is included too.
