Dhow Cruise Marina: Dinner Cruise on Dubai Marina
Sail the Dubai Marina waterway on a traditional dhow, with buffet dinner and views of one of the world's most striking high-rise skylines after dark.
Why choose a Marina dhow cruise
Dubai Marina is a man-made waterway lined with hundreds of high-rise towers, making it the most visually dramatic of Dubai's cruise routes after dark, when the skyline lights reflect on the water. It's a convenient choice for guests staying in Dubai Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah or nearby hotels, and it's consistently the most requested route for first-time visitors.
The cruise moves at a relaxed pace along the Marina waterway, giving you time to enjoy dinner on the lower deck or take photos from the open-air upper deck as the boat passes Marina Walk, the JBR beachfront and the surrounding towers.

International buffet dinner service on most Marina cruise packages, served on the lower deck.
Upper Deck Views
Open-air upper deck seating for skyline photography and cooler evening air.
Live Entertainment
