Dubai is somewhat famous for its creek dhow dinner cruise, which offers unimaginable mystery, romance and uniqueness.
Of course, you can enjoy dhow cruises in various parts of the world, but until you have experienced the Dubai dhow cruise, your sailing is not complete. It is one of the most popular activities that Dubai Tours has to offer and you can cruise the creek during the day or at night.
Below are some facts about the Dubai Dhow cruise.
1) What are dhows?
Dhows are wooden sailing ships that originated in the Middle East. Dubai used the Arabian sailing ship many years ago on the creek to transport heavy goods such as fruits and other products imported to the Emirate from the Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, India and East Africa. There are different types of dhows with different shapes and the earliest dhows were made from shells.
2) Dhow dinner cruise
Perhaps one of the most romantic and beautiful ways to see Dubai is via a dhow dinner cruise. The dhow cruise offers amazing views of the city from the creek, under a moonlit sky. As the main attraction, the old wooden dhows sail along the Dubai Creek at night, giving their passengers a fantastic view of Dubai and its past and present architecture. There are numerous landmarks to see, but perhaps the most notable is the house of the late Sheikh Zayeds. Passengers can also enjoy a delicious international buffet dinner with Arabic music and traditional Arabic coffee followed. You will no doubt also see many of the large ships sailing along the creek, sailed by wealthy Arabs or wealthy investors who made a fortune during Dubai’s uprising from the desert. The overnight dhow cruise generally departs between 8:30pm and 10:30pm
3) How to book a Dubai dhow cruise?
Booking a dinner cruise in Dubai can be easy. You can reach the many dhow cruise ships along the creek, or book in advance online or by contacting Dubai Tours. Like most of the cuisine in Dubai, it is of excellent quality and expect nothing less with one of the Dubai Dhow cruises.
