Overview

A dhow is the traditional wooden boat of the Gulf, and an evening dinner cruise is one of the easiest ways to see the Dubai Marina skyline from the water. Alexandra has run its floating restaurant in the Marina for more than 10 years.

The cruise passes the towers of Dubai Marina and JBR, with views of Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, Dubai Harbour and Cayan Tower. On board you get a table on your chosen deck, an international buffet dinner with soft drinks and water, and live entertainment from a singer or dancer.

Choose the lower deck, which is enclosed, or the upper deck, which is open to the view. You can meet the boat at the Marina yourself or add a sharing or private hotel transfer. See all Dubai cruises to compare other boats.

Best for

A relaxed first evening: Dinner, a show and the skyline in under two hours.
Couples: Choose the upper deck for open-air views of the Marina at night.
Families: Children under 5 are free and the cruise is calm inside the Marina.
