Dhow Cruise with Dinner and Live Entertainment at Dubai Al Seef

Description

The Dhow cruise allows you to experience the contrast between old and new Dubai. On one side, you have modern skyscrapers and iconic structures like the Burj Khalifa, and on the other, you have the historic and traditional architecture of Old Dubai. This blend of tradition and modernity is unique to Dubai and is beautifully showcased during the cruise. Dubai Creek offers a picturesque setting, especially during sunset and in the evening when the city lights up. The reflections on the water, combined with the skyline, create a stunning visual experience. Dining on a traditional wooden boat under the stars is a unique and memorable experience. The gentle breeze and calm waters of the creek provide a peaceful and serene environment. It's a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind while enjoying the sights and sounds.

Not worth the money.

Not worth the money. The food is mediocre. Staff super cute. But - we upgraded to an unlimited house brands drink package. It should prove to be a big mistake. Almost impossible to get drinks and we were refused gin/tonic even though the text shows that spirits are included.

Worth it if you use an entertainer offer

We had high expectations for our final evening in Dubai. Food was good and drinks readily offered. Alcoholic drinks very expensive but didn't matter to us as we stuck with soft drinks. Route of cruise great and had plenty of time to take every moment in. Music was very loud though which meant chatting to friends was difficult. Music genre was not great also, very catered to certain nationalities rather than catering for all. We also spent the majority of the trip wet due to waiter bumping into our table and spilling all of our drinks. Our tablecloth and ourselves were soaked. No apologies given and minimal help to dry off. No move of table offered, free drink or anything. Did put a small dampner on the evening! It was certainly an experience We used an entertainer so only paid half price, was not worth the full price.

Dhow cruise

Not worth the money. Staff were rude and the entertainment was shocking. He asked everyone for tips. The photographer is a scam. He takes pictures and then at the end forces you to purchase them. All and all a waste of time and money. Shocking.

Thank you for taking your precious time and giving us such a review. Kindly note that this is the cheapest and best rated cruise at al seef. Professional photography is excluded and is as per the wish of the guest. Thanks

Dinner BBQ

We enjoyed BBQ and a dinner show, while seeing amazing views of Dubai from the water. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the port. We were immediately taken to the boat and given a drink. We enjoyed traditional Egyptian dancing and Belly dancing. The food was also amazing.

Beautiful evening, the buffet is almost exclusively Arabic. The show was very nice, the view is not great, but Dubai captivates from every angle
