Tour Description
Everything you need to know before planning your visit.
Transfers and Inclusions
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included only when stated. Shared transfers use collection windows and may involve several stops. The written package should identify sailing, buffet, beverages, entertainment where permitted and any transfer. Parking, premium menu items, decorations, photographs and gratuities are excluded unless itemised.
Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise Dinner
See Dubai Marina’s illuminated towers from the water while enjoying an evening aboard a traditional-style dhow. The cruise combines modern waterfront views, a buffet and the onboard services confirmed for the selected vessel.
The current listed package options are Dhow Cruise Dinner - Marina: AED 150.00 per adult and AED 150.00 per child. Vessel, boarding point, sailing time, deck allocation and transfer status must be confirmed before payment.
Marina Route and Views
The cruise normally travels through Dubai Marina, with views of residential towers, hotels, yachts and the waterfront. Depending on the vessel and operating route, guests may also see JBR and Bluewaters Island. No particular landmark or open-water route is guaranteed.
This page is specifically for Dubai Marina. Travellers wanting the heritage districts of Deira and Bur Dubai should compare our Dubai Creek dhow cruise dinner.
Dinner and Entertainment
The confirmed package can include a welcome drink, international buffet, water and soft beverages. Vegetarian choices are usually available, but allergies and special meals must be requested in advance. Entertainment such as Tanoura may operate subject to vessel schedules, religious occasions and UAE rules.
Boarding, Decks and Transfers
Arrive at the confirmed marina location before the reporting time. The voucher must contain the map pin and emergency contact. Upper-deck seating is open-air and subject to availability; lower decks are usually enclosed or air-conditioned. A general ticket should not be treated as guaranteed upper-deck or window seating.
Transfers are included only if the selected option states pickup and drop-off. Guests travelling independently should allow time for Marina traffic, parking and walking to the berth.

For a luxury dining atmosphere, compare the Lotus Mega Yacht Dinner Cruise. Guests wanting another classic dinner option can also review the Dubai dhow cruise with BBQ dinner.
Confirm the Marina and Boarding Pier
Dubai Marina has several dhow boarding locations. The final voucher should provide the vessel name, exact map pin, reporting time and emergency contact. Arrive early enough for traffic, parking and walking to the berth. Reaching a different pier can result in a missed sailing.
The advertised experience can include check-in and boarding time in addition to sailing time. Ask for the expected departure, cruise duration and return time before arranging transport.
Upper Deck or Lower Deck Seating
The upper deck is open-air and popular for skyline photographs. The lower deck is usually enclosed or air-conditioned. A general ticket does not guarantee upper-deck, lower-deck, window or private-table seating. Request a preference before payment, but treat it as confirmed only when written on the voucher.
Guests with mobility concerns should ask about gangway access, stairs, washrooms and the most suitable deck.
Buffet, Drinks and Dietary Requests
Confirm the buffet menu, welcome drink and beverages included. Vegetarian choices may be available, but severe allergies require direct discussion because shared kitchens and buffets involve cross-contact. Premium drinks, celebration cakes and special meals cost extra unless listed.
Entertainment and Dress
Tanoura or other entertainment can change because of local regulations, religious occasions, weather or vessel operations. Book primarily for the Marina cruise, views and dinner rather than relying on one performance.
Smart-casual comfortable clothing is suitable. Carry a light layer on cooler evenings and supervise children closely near stairs and open decks.
Compare Dubai Dinner Cruises
For a heritage-area route, compare the Dubai Creek dhow cruise. Larger groups can consider the Lotus Mega Yacht Dinner Cruise, while the Dubai dhow cruise collection lists more options.
Plan a Marina walk around your cruise
Read our Dubai Marina evening itinerary to compare an independent waterfront walk, dinner on land and a cruise. Marina Walk, JBR and Dubai Harbour are different locations. Use the berth and reporting time on your confirmed voucher, leave time for travel and boarding checks, and arrange walking around that reservation.
A dinner-cruise booking does not by itself include beach access, sunbeds or watersports. For an independent Kite Beach or JBR outing, see our Dubai beach day guide and confirm any paid extras separately.
