About the Premium Creek Dhow Cruise
Dubai Creek is where the city began, and a dhow cruise here feels completely different from the glass towers of the Marina. You sail past wind towers, wooden abras, the spice and gold souqs, and the beautifully restored waterfront of Al Seef — the Dubai your grandparents might have visited.
On board, there is a 5-star buffet dinner, welcome soft drinks, and two crowd-pleasing shows: the spinning Tanoura dance and the comic Panda show that always gets children (and plenty of adults) laughing.
At 60 AED per person it is our lowest-priced cruise, but it does not feel like a budget option. It is the one we recommend to anyone who wants a slower, more traditional evening with a real sense of the city's history.
