Dhow Cruise Dubai Timings
When dhow cruises typically depart in Dubai, and how timing differs between evening dinner cruises and daytime options.
When do dhow cruises depart?
Most dhow dinner cruises in Dubai depart in the evening, so the skyline is lit and the temperature is cooler for the sailing. Boarding usually opens a short time before departure to allow guests to settle in before the cruise gets underway. Exact departure and boarding times vary by route, season and operator, and can shift with sunset times across the year.
