Experience the Magic of a Dhow Cruise in Dubai Marina

Where Arabian heritage meets modern luxury on the waters of Dubai Marina

A dhow cruise in Dubai Marina is more than just a boat ride — it is a journey through the heart of modern Dubai, aboard a vessel steeped in centuries of Arabian maritime tradition. Our traditional wooden dhow, beautifully crafted and elegantly decorated, sails through the stunning Dubai Marina waterway, offering guests an unforgettable evening of culture, cuisine, and breathtaking city views.

Since 2015, Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina has been the premier choice for tourists, families, couples, and corporate groups seeking a unique dinner cruise in Dubai. Our two-hour evening cruise departs from JBR Marina Harbor at 8:30 PM and takes you on a magical route through the Dubai Marina canal, past the towering skyscrapers of JBR, the iconic Cayan Tower (Infinity Tower), Marina Heights Tower, Dubai Marina Mall, and onwards towards Bluewater Island with its magnificent views of Ain Dubai — the world’s largest and tallest observation wheel standing at 250 meters.

What makes our dhow cruise Dubai Marina truly special is the combination of authentic Arabian hospitality with world-class service. Every evening, our guests are welcomed aboard with traditional Arabic coffee (Gahwa) and sweet dates, setting the tone for a memorable night. The onboard international buffet dinner features an expertly curated selection of Arabic and Continental dishes, from freshly prepared starters and soups to succulent mains and decadent desserts, all prepared by our experienced culinary team.

The highlight of every marina dhow cruise is the mesmerizing live Tanura dance performance — a traditional Sufi whirling dance that captivates audiences with its colorful spinning skirts and hypnotic rhythms. Combined with live DJ music featuring English, Arabic, and Indian tracks, the entertainment ensures every guest has an incredible time on the water.

Whether you choose the open-air upper deck to feel the gentle Arabian Gulf breeze and photograph the glittering skyline, or the air-conditioned lower deck for a comfortable sheltered dining experience, our dhow offers the perfect setting. With over 5,400 five-star reviews and a consistent 4.9-star rating, we are proud to be the highest-rated dhow cruise operator in Dubai Marina.
